Survival time for liver cancer varies from individual to individual. Generally, with active treatment, the 5-year survival rate for early-stage liver cancer can reach 30% to 70%, and even longer survival periods are possible. However, for patients with intermediate or advanced-stage liver cancer, survival time is relatively shorter. If left untreated,晚期 liver cancer patients may survive only about 3 to 6 months. Liver cancer survival depends on multiple factors, including tumor stage, treatment options selected, patient's physical condition, and mental attitude. Each patient's situation is different, so it is difficult to provide an exact timeframe. If diagnosed with liver cancer, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and actively cooperate with treatment.
