How long can cancer spread late

The survival time of patients with advanced spread of cancer varies greatly, some may only be a few weeks, some may survive months or even years.

Different types of cancer in the late spread of the progression rate and malignant degree are very different. For example, some lymphoma, breast cancer, etc., may be relatively sensitive to treatment, even if the late spread, through active treatment may still obtain a certain survival time extension; and some highly malignant cancer, such as pancreatic cancer, once spread, the disease often progresses rapidly, survival time is shorter. In addition, if the patient's overall physical condition is good, there is no serious underlying disease, and the patient can tolerate more intense treatment, the chances of survival may be relatively large. On the other hand, if the patient is weak, accompanied by a variety of serious underlying diseases, it may not be able to withstand the side effects of treatment, which will seriously affect survival time
