- There are many factors to how long a person can survive even with a disease such as liver cancer.
The liver functions to produce bile that will help with digestion. When the liver is not working to remove toxins in the food and blood it can cause issues such as the lack of removal of billrubin thus turning a person yellow. Anemia can be an issue with those who are jaundiced. Gallstones can be another reason for a jaundiced patient.
Given that jaundice is somewhat related to the liver's function it can be a sign that the liver is unable to remove the toxins from the body and therefore a move to do so with medications or dialysis may be needed.
A doctor can treat the issue of jaundice in a patient to try and control the issue. Patients who have a will to live and do not want to be beaten by cancer can sometimes live longer than others. This is why it can depend on the patient. It is also why you should seek a physician's advice if you are concerned about someone or just wish to know.
