A member asked:
Hi my 80 year old man has liver cancer which has now spread to the spine, what is life expectancy please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liver cancer: Liver cancer has a poor life expectancy but it varies according to how much liver function persists. If jaundice,drowsiness,lack of appetite,bleeding tendency are present life expectancy is measured in days or a week or so. Otherwise the patient can survive much longer. Of course the oncologist is best qualified to answer your question.
