A member asked:
What is life expectancy in 74 y.o. woman with appendiceal cancer with mets to ovary. surgery included bowel resection and complete hysterectomy.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Life expectancy: It depends on how extensively the metastatic disease has spread prior to the surgery. Only the oncologist who consults with the surgeon can provide in a particular case a reasonable "guess" as to length of survival for this disease.
