For what length of time can someone live with cancer in their brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Prognosis depends upon whether primary aggressive tumor such as glioblastoma multiforme vrs secondary metastatic tumor. The former responds poorly to surgery, irradiation, and chemo, but a secondary tumor might well be controlled with multiple measures. Your questions can be best addressed by experienced oncologist.
