What is the Prognosis for Patients with Secondary Malignancies?
The prognosis for patients with secondary malignancies varies widely based on several factors including the type and stage of the new cancer, the patient's overall health, and the effectiveness of treatment. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial for improving outcomes. Patients with a history of cancer should have regular follow-ups and screenings to identify any new malignancies at an early, more treatable stage.
