What is the Prognosis for Patients with Tumor Embolism?
The prognosis for patients with tumor embolism varies widely and depends on several factors:
- Stage of the Primary Cancer: Advanced stages generally have a poorer prognosis. - Location of the Emboli: Emboli in critical organs like the lungs or brain can have more serious implications. - Overall Health of the Patient: Comorbid conditions can worsen the outcome. - Response to Treatment: Effective management of both the emboli and the underlying cancer is crucial.
