Suggest Treatment For Metastatic Adenocarcinoma In An Elderly Person
My 87 year old father has just been diagnosed with metastatic edenocarcinoma. He is recovering from the removal of a 10 cm malignant abdominal tumor, and had 20 nodes removed, 14 of which were positive. He is weak, incontinent, and can only manage 200 ft with a walker. Given his condition, do you advise that we plan treatment, or resign ourselves to the inevitable result? --Rich Stopczynski
