Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Poorly differentiated tumor has a poor prognosis and usually presents with metastasis.
2. With failure of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and further growth, the prognosis appears grim.
3. If liver or brain or other major organs involved, 2-3,months would be high with treatment. Give him hood nutrition and family support.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
