What Is The Prognosis Of Gallbladder Cancer Stage 4?
Hi My sister-in-law, 48 years old, is suffering from stage IV gall bladder cancer. What is her life expectancy? Is a cure possible? Doctors say that she can live only for some six months, how can that be delayed? She has been suggested FNA cytology. Is there a possibility of metastasis worsening after that?
