Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women and men both in the United States and throughout the world. Lung cancer has surpassedbreast canceras the leading cause of cancer deaths in women for the past 25 years. In the United States, there are more deaths due to lung canc...
Surgery may also be done to relieve symptoms in advanced cancer such as when the cancer has caused a bowel obstruction. The usual procedure is bypass for obstructions that cannot be cured. Rarely a colon cancer presents with such severe blockage (obstruction) or is so massive that a resection...
That’s about the same rate as for liver cancer and deadlier than any other type except pancreatic cancer. But those numbers are averages. They don’t necessarily predict what will happen to you. Your prognosis, or chances of recovery, will depend on the specific traits of your cancer, ...
The study also confirms better prognosis in females with SCLC in both LD and ED. The study also demonstrates the importance of patient performance status as a prognostic factor in all stages of lung cancer.Gunnar SvenssonDepartment of MedicineSven-Borje EwersDepartment of Cancer EpidemiologyOla ...

2. Stage 1:This describes a small cancerous tumor that has spread to nearby tissue but not beyond – such as the blood stream or lymph system. Doctors may refer to this as “early stage” cancer and insist on implementing immediate treatment protocol since, at this stage the prognosis is ...
Stage is also a good indicator of prognosis, or the chances of success after treatment. Clinical staging provides the initial information about the extent of disease that is used to plan therapy. However, clinical staging can underestimate the extent of the tumor, when compared with results based...
