A member asked:
For what length of time can a person live with untreated cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Different cancers have very different natural histories and there is no single answer. An old man with a slow growing prostate cancer is more likely to die with the cancer than from it. A young person with an untreated aggressive lung cancer may be dead in a matter of weeks.
