A member asked:
What is the likelihood of cancer recurrence?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: Recurrence following removal of a cancer is a reflection of tumor cells having spread before initial treatment. The latter, results in reappearance of disease based on the type of malignancy, its size, duration of growth and histologic grade. With pancreatic cancer it is better than 90% even if completely removed.
