What are the odds of survival for patients with bone metastases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to day.: Depends on the tumor type and aggressiveness. Some tumors may respond to chemo and radiation for years. Others may be rapidly progressive and spread to other organs like liver and brain. A, "cure" is not in the cards.
