What is the Prognosis for Patients with Metastatic Tumors?
The prognosis for patients with metastatic tumors varies widely and depends on several factors, such as the type of primary cancer, the sites of metastasis, and the response to treatment. Generally, metastatic cancer has a poorer prognosis than localized cancer, but survival rates have improved with advances in treatment. Ongoing research continues to explore new therapeutic options to enhance outcomes for patients with metastatic disease.
