A member asked:
What is the life expectancy of a cancer patient? has there any case where prostate metastasis could lead man to live more then 10 years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Life expectancy: The life expectancy of a cancer patient is highly dependent on the type/location of cancer as well as the stage of the cancer. Men with metastatic prostate cancer could live for a long time (possibly more than 10 years), especially if the cancer is sensitive to maintenance hormone therapy.
