A member asked:
What is the probability of fighting off cancer after it has come back and spread.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends....: Each cancer has its own treatment and outcome. We need to know what type of Cancer it is? For example did it begin in Lung or breast when first treated? where is the recurrence/metastases at present??. We have good treatments for many tumor types. If treated with modern treatments many patients with recurrence of cancer live for several years....sometimes the Cancer is eradicated/patient is cured
