A member asked:
My mam has cancer in her spinal fluid, i just want to know what the chances of her surviving it is ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on type: Cancer if the spinal fluid is usually metastatic, but it can be from hollow organs, bone marrow or from the brain. Usually cancer or lymphoma can be found in csf, but brain tumors can also be seen there. Without known the type of underlying cancer your mom has, it is hard to predict outcome. Maybe you would like to reply and describe the specific cancer type.
