Question 1

what life expectancy does someone have with angiosarcoma?

Accepted Answer

3.5 years: 3.5 years is the median survival in studies that look at groups of people with angiosarcoma.  However, each person with angiosarcoma may do much better or much worse.  It depends on where the tumor started, the stage of the tumor at diagnosis, and the age and general health of the person.  Sadly, it is a very aggressive type of cancer.

Question 2

what is the life expectancy for someone with lupis?

Accepted Answer

Can be normal: In the 1950s, 60% of lupus patients died within five years. Now, more than 90% survive beyond five years. Many lupus patients have non-life threatening disease. Kidney or brain involvement portends a worse prognosis.

Question 3

what is the life expectancy for someone with an fev1of 34 percent?

Accepted Answer

: This depends entirely on the cause of the reduced lung capacity, how well it responds to treatment, and whether there is a continuing cause of potential lung damage (like smoking). Discuss with your doctor.

Question 4

what is the life expectancy of someone newly diagnosed with devic's disease?

Accepted Answer

Since: the neuromyelitis in Devic's disease usually affects the OPTIC NERVES the effect on life expectancy is minimal!
Hopefully TREATMENT will improve the QUALITY of life (not just the QUANTITY.  New treatments for MS and ALS (Lou gehrig's disease) are "in the works!!!"
Hope this helps and Good Luck

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Ivad: This may mean different things in different medical specialities. Please spell it out.

Question 6

what is the life expectancy for someone with behcet's?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the body system that is involved. If it is limited to the eyes and mouth, then the life expectancy should be normal, with uveitis and apthous stomatitis as chronic illnesses. However, if there is heart or lung involvement, with aneurysmal dilation of vessels within these vital structures, a person could end up in early heart or respiratory failure, shortening the life expectancy.

Question 7

what is the life expectancy of someone with lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Depends: There are many factors that effect life expectancy including the patients underlying health and the stage of lymphoma. For example lymphoma that is slower growing and has not spread is a better case than a lymphoma that is aggressive and has spread to multiple organs. Hard to answer that question without more information.

Question 8

what would the life expectancy for someone with ms be?

Accepted Answer

Unsually normal: It was previously thought that ms could shorten lifespan by about 8 yrs, but a study looking at interferon treatment suggests that lifespan can be normal if ms patients are treated with dmt's over a period of time.

Question 9

what is the life expectancy of someone with hemophilia?

Accepted Answer

Near normal: The disorder can be of varying severity, but robust treatment options are available, including recombinant drugs and gene therapy.  If severity is low and resistance to drugs do not develop life expectancy is near normal.

Question 10

what is the life expectancy of someone with relapse polychondritis?

Accepted Answer

It really depends: This is a difficult question to answer. It really depends on the severity of the disease. Tracheal and aortic valve involvement can be a significant issue. As Prednisone is the basic therapy, an affected individual also has to deal with the long-term toxicities associated with Prednisone or other immunosuppressive therapies.
