A member asked:
Can somebody update me on the real life expectancy of a 78 yr old with stage iv esophageal and liver cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very short: Weeks to months, and this is true of any age with esoph metastasis. Wt loss and energy/performance level are also signs pointing to poor and short prognosis.
