Squamous cell carcinoma can live for a few years

The survival time of advanced squamous cell carcinoma patients varies greatly. Generally speaking, it may only be several months to several years, but there are also a few patients who can survive longer after active treatment and good management.

The malignant degree and development speed of squamous cell carcinoma in different parts may be different. For example, if lung squamous cell carcinoma has extensive metastasis and is insensitive to treatment, it may progress faster and survive for a shorter time; while some skin squamous cell carcinomas may develop relatively slowly. The differentiation degree of tumors is also very important. The poorly differentiated tumors are often more aggressive and the prognosis may be poor.

It should be emphasized that for advanced squamous cell carcinoma patients, survival time should not only be concerned, but more important is to improve the quality of life. Through reasonable treatment, pain management, psychological support and other measures, patients can minimize pain in a limited time and maintain a relatively good living state.
