The 5-year survival rate for stage IV colorectal cancer is 5%. It is difficult to say exactly how this relates to his grandfather, but his oncologist idea. However, he or she may be only a suggestion, and depends largely on how your grandfather responds to treatment and overall health. If doctors have a bowel resection for colorectal cancer should always verify that the liver Mets. When a solitary lesion is usually removed in the biopsy and if we can ask. If there can be multiple lesions, usually only him alone. This will have an impact on overall survival.

I feel sorry for you and your family that his grandfather had this terrible disease.

Liver cancer is largely secondary to the spread of cancer often) colon cancer (colon cancer. This form of liver cancer is the most common liver cancer in Western countries. The incidence of liver metastases of colorectal cancer is as high as 30%. There is an increased incidence of colorectal cancer and therefore the occurrence of secondary liver cancer is also rising. The natural history of liver metastases suggests that treating patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer with a life expectancy of the extreme poverty of perhaps 6 to 18 months.

If the cancer can not be eliminated, allowing the doctors to focus on relieving symptoms such as pain and thereby reduce or delay the need for effective pain relief and allows the chemotherapy to have a better chance of delaying progression of cancer. Learned that I can not say that the survival rate is that after five years in May, we should understand it is probably very low. No evidence currently availablegen that the treatment will increase the survival rate after five years.

The best treatment for liver cancer, primary or secondary, is the subject of liver resection. This is the surgical removal of the liver affected by the tumor. There are also other cancer therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but they are largely ineffective for most types of liver cancer.

Without surgery and cancer are, in most cases lead to death normally be made within six to twelve months. However, liver resection for metastatic colorectal cancer, 38% of patients survive five years

I hope you and your grandfather is valuable and continue to believe year.My spend with you and him.

Your grandfather has reached stage IV colon cancer. The 5-year survival rate drops significantly when the cancer has spread.
