A member asked:
Could you give me sone details about metastatic brain cancer and life expectancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: Metastatic disease is tumor spread from another site (ie lung, breast, colon). This is an incurable setting and most patients die from this within 6 months to a year, even with radiation, surgery and chemotherapy. Without treatment, survival is weeks to a few months.
