A member asked:
On average, how long will a patient with terminal kidney cancer live?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask his/her doctor: Depends on many factors, including current overall health, functional status, ongoing palliative treatments including palliative chemotherapy, and so on. His/her doctors (including hospice or palliative doctor) could give an average estimate and tell you how likely it would apply to that person's situation.
