A member asked:
How long can a person live with small cell cancer found in the colon with mets to liver and bone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It varies depending: It depends on the stage of disease and extent of prior treatment. When the tumor is untreated with any prior chemotherapy, then we have fairly good results and patients typically live an average of 9 to 12 months and there are some long term survivors if patient has a good response to chemotherapy. However it is a very bad disease once it has failed chemotherapy, pts. Living only for 2 to 3 month.
