A member asked:
If there is a liver met and 1 aortocaval node in a colon cancer pt, approx how many yrs is survival ? primary is removed n on irinotecan at present .
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See liver specialist: Aortocaval LN involvement in colorectal cancer is unusual and should be confirmed by PET scan or biopsy before being labelled as a metastatic LN. If the liver metastasis can be resected, it should be resected. Adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy may improve long-term survival. Median survival for untreated Stage IV colorectal cancer is about 18 months. See a liver surgeon specialist
