How long does someone generally live after being diagnosed with stage 4 (end stage) Metastatic Adenocarcinoma?

---

A lady that I work with has been diagnosed with this and the doc's haven't told her yet how long (appx) she has to live. I just want an estimate, obviously as no one is god and can tell me exactly...
It is very unlikely a doctor will tell her how much time she has left, because they don’t know, not until she is within weeks of death. Statistics will give us survival rates and median survival times, but you do not mention where this cancer arose so it is impossible to answer.  (+ info)

Does anyone know the diagnostic code for: History of adenocarcinoma of the prostate?

If you had adenocarcinoma of the lung and it has spread- would you have treatment or live out the time left?

My mother who is 64 has been diagnosed with lung cancer- PET scan shows positive areas in other parts of her body. She is refusing to have radiation and chemotherapy treatment. She thinks her life is over. I am trying to be as supportive as I can and respectful of her wishes. This is a difficult situation. I don't want to insist she has therapy - if it she has a short time left- the chemotherapy may cause her suffering. Of course I want her around for as long as possible- but not at the expense of her suffering- and then she still passes on.
This isn't a question that a stranger can answer. I have two suggestions, both rather obvious.

After helping your mother emotionally and giving her whatever assistance she needs, tell her: "I want you to do whatever you think you should do."

Involve Hospice!

If your mother has no objections to a religious organization, the "Stephen Ministry" can be very helpful. Their priority is not evangelism.

My best wishes to both of you in a very difficult time!  (+ info)

how fast the colon cancer adenocarcinoma will spread?

Is it advisable to conduct a major surgery if the patient has a colon cancer adenocarcinoma? what is the recovery time?
Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of colon cancer and typically it is slow growing. However, from your question it sounds like you or someone else had a colonoscopy and polypectomy with a positive margin. If this is the case surgery is usually recommended as it only takes a single cancer cell left behind for the cancer to grow and spread. You do have plenty of time for a second or third opinion if that will make you more comfortable.

Keep in mind colon cancer is very treatable when caught early, but deadly when it is not. In it’s early stages the 5 year survival rate is 95-85%, but if 3 or more lymph nodes are involved it drops to 50% and if it metastasizes it plummets to 5%.

The hospital stay for a colon resection is about 4 days, by that time you should tolerate a normal diet. Full recovery will take several weeks as they have to cut the abdominal wall, sort of like a C-section if any of your children were born that way. Hope this helps. Good luck.

please tell me everything i need to know about invasive adenocarcinoma?

---

i need to know everthing from how bad or good this might be. what treatments come with this . (everything ) dont leave out any details. it was foun in a tumor inside the colon. please help! thanx a million!
Adenocarcinoma of the colon is very common. It can be very small and confined to a polyp and be completely removed with during a colonoscopy. If it is too large to be removed this way you will have to have that part of the colon removed. It can also invade through the colon wall and spread to other parts of the body.

You do not give enough information to answer your question adequately. If it can be removed during a colonoscopy your doctor will want to do another colonoscopy in 3-5 years, maybe run a CEA to monitor you and will tell you to change your diet and you will not need chemo.  (+ info)

i was diagnosed with moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma endocervical pls help me what are the posible tr?

---

i was advice to undergo chemotherapy and radiation for this stage 1 of my illness do we have any other option aside from the 2 stated above?
Grace - You should and MUST discuss this further with your MD gynecologist and/or treating oncologist who should have already given you information about possible treatments and their effects. If after such a full discussion, you still feel uncertain, then seek a second opinion from another physician. The diagnosis you mention still leaves an excellent chance for cure in its earlier present stage.  (+ info)

Why is it so hard to control platelets in the blood of adenocarcinoma patients?

---

What about after HIT, before radiation?
Radiation therapy may cause a decrease in the number of white blood cells, cells that help protect the body against infection, or platelets, cells that help the blood to clot. If that happens, patients need to be careful to avoid possible sources of infection or injury. The doctor monitors a patient's blood count very carefully during radiation treatment. If necessary, treatment may have to be postponed to let the blood counts return to normal.

"Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a relatively common immune-mediated disorder with the potential for serious thromboembolic complications. It is associated with the use of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and may be defined as a decrease in platelet count during or shortly after exposure to this anticoagulant."  (+ info)
