A member asked:

I'm wondering how long does someone in the final stages of terminal primary liver cancer have left?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Difficult to : Predict. It is not feasible to provide an estimate of the time as tumors often behave in unexpected ways. Late stage primary liver cancer is general has a poor prognosis. See this site for more info. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000280.htm.
