Mesothelioma Life Expectancy

02. Impacting Factors

影响预期寿命的因素

The life expectancy for mesothelioma patients is generally short and varies depending on stage, gender and age. Approximately 40% of patients live past one year, and 9% live longer than five years. Long-term survival is rare, with fewer than 10% of patients living beyond five years.

一种number of factors can impact life expectancy for those diagnosed with万博专业版， 包含：

• 肿瘤阶段
• 位置和单元格
• Patient characteristics

尽管其中一些因素无法更改或以其他方式改善，但患者可能能够通过治疗改善总体预期寿命。

Stage

早期诊断和识别间皮瘤万博专业版阶段can improve a patient’s life expectancy. If mesothelioma is diagnosed at stage 1 or 2, the cancer has not metastasized, or spread to other areas of the body. At these earlier stages, patients have more treatment options and treatments are typically more effective. This can result in a life expectancy of approximately 19 – 21 months.

However, at stages 3 and 4, mesothelioma has spread to lymph nodes and distant organs. Patients may face more limited treatment options as a result. Life expectancy for stages 3 and 4 ranges from 12 – 16 months.

Location

The location of the cancer can also influence a patient’s life expectancy. Certain types of mesothelioma, like testicular mesothelioma, are more localized and respond more favorably to treatment than other types. Pericardial mesothelioma, however, is often the result of metastasis and is difficult to treat because it develops on the membrane around the heart. As such, pericardial mesothelioma patients generally face a shorter life expectancy than other types.

• Pleural mesothelioma：Malignant pleural mesothelioma patients have an average life expectancy of 18 months.
• 腹膜间皮瘤万博专业版：诊断患有腹膜间皮瘤的患者的预期寿命通常为两到六年。万博专业版
• 心包间皮瘤：万博专业版Patients with pericardial mesothelioma face an average life expectancy of approximately six months due to the limited treatment options available for this rare form of the disease.
• 睾丸间皮瘤：万博专业版这种形式的间皮瘤的预期寿命万博专业版中位数约为20至23个月。

Cell Type

Mesothelioma can be categorized into three different cell types, including上皮类，，，，肉瘤一种ndbiphasic（上皮细胞和肉瘤细胞的混合物）。

上皮性间皮瘤患者的预期寿命通常比患有肉瘤性间皮瘤的患万博专业版者更长。这是因为上皮细胞间皮瘤细胞对治疗的反应更好，并且较慢地转万博专业版移。患有双相间皮瘤的人的预期寿命各不相同，具万博专业版体取决于主要的细胞类型。

患者年龄，性别和整体健康

Older mesothelioma patients generally have shorter life expectancies. These patients are often in poorer health and have pre-existing health conditions that limit viable treatment options.

一项研究表明，在65岁之前，被诊断出患有胸膜间皮瘤的人的寿命比65岁诊断的人长近四个月。年轻患者的存活率万博专业版也比75岁或75岁以上诊断的人长八个月以上。

In general,women diagnosed with mesothelioma比患有间皮瘤的男性长约5.5个月。万博专业版男性也比女性更常见。这可能是男性在高风险中工作的结果一种sbestos occupations在使用它的高度。

Overall health can also affect the life expectancy of mesothelioma patients. Patients in good health are more likely to undergo aggressive treatments for improved life expectancy. Those with poor health or pre-existing conditions may have fewer treatment options available and face a shorter life expectancy.

03.其他因素

Other Factors Affecting Mesothelioma Life Expectancy

Many other factors can determine a patient’s life expectancy. Factors that could have a negative impact on a patient’s life expectancy include:

• 一种吸烟的历史：一种lthough cigarette smoking does not directly lead to mesothelioma, cigarette smokers who are exposed to一种sbestos发展与石棉相关的肺癌的可能性高约50至84倍。
• Elevated white blood cell count:White blood cell count typically indicates the body fighting against a pre-existing condition or blood cancer, which can make mesothelioma more difficult to treat.
• 低血红蛋白水平：低血红蛋白水平可能表明贫血，这是许多患者接受化学疗法时面临的疾病。这会导致患者感到呼吸，头晕和疲倦。这些症状可能会因严重程度而异。
• High platelet count:一种特定类型的高血小板计数，称为继发性血栓形成，会产生血凝块，并由体内感染引起。对于癌症患者来说，这是一种常见但严重的并发症。

04. Impact of Treatment

Mesothelioma Life Expectancy With Treatment

Patients diagnosed with early-stage mesothelioma may be able to undergo aggressive multimodal treatment methods, such as手术切除of the tumor combined with treatments like化学疗法一种ndradiation。

Different surgery options can provide patients with improved quality of life and ultimately may extend life expectancy.

胸皮间皮瘤患者可万博专业版能能够接受pneumonectomy（肺部拆除手术）或胸膜切除术（去除癌组织）以去除肿瘤和受影响的组织。研究发现，肺切除术后进行辐射可以防止80％至85％的患者胸部复发，从而对预期寿命产生积极影响。

For patients with peritoneal mesothelioma, debulking surgery to remove cancerous tumors can be combined with高温腹膜化疗（HIPEC）to improve survival. One study showed surgery combined with HIPEC resulted in a 5-year survival rate of 50%, with some studies indicating a 5-year survival rate of 67% and higher.

对于老年患者或诊断晚期的患者，手术可能不是可行的选择。在制定治疗计划时，间皮瘤专家将评估患者的健康和接受此类治疗的能力。万博专业版

Clinical trialsmay be available for eligible patients, including those with late-stage diagnoses, to improve life expectancy.免疫疗法has shown promise in extending life expectancy and has become a standard treatment option for mesothelioma patients after showing positive results in clinical trials.

尽管诸如手术，放射疗法和化学疗法之类的常规治疗是改善患者预期寿命的标准方法，但有一些补充方法也可能有助于：

• Leading a healthy lifestyle with proper exercise and diet may help patients while undergoing treatment.
• Undergoing一种lternative treatment methods一种s part of a multimodal treatment plan may help patients manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

每个患者的治疗计划都不同，患者应就这些决定咨询医生和家人。

05.没有治疗的影响

Mesothelioma Life Expectancy Without Treatment

研究表明，不接受治疗的恶性间皮瘤患者通常居住六个月。万博专业版在没有治疗的情况下，在早期诊断出的患者可以生存超过一年。但是，与治疗患者一样，生存可能会根据分期，细胞类型和位置，患者特征和其他因素而变化。

Patients may decide to forego treatment for a variety of reasons, including if the cancer is in advanced stages. Foregoing treatment can shorten life expectancy. Patients should discuss all their treatment options before making a decision.
