A member asked:
What is the life expectancy of a 78 year female with colon cancer that has methasized to the liver and ovary with no treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not good: A good prognosis calculator is available at the MD Anderson website, but please note that among criteria used, functional or nutritional status as well as comorbidities are not factored in and sometimes they make a big difference. She will most likely qualify for hospice services, prognosis estimated at 6 months if there is noticeable decline.
