please anyone with information on mucinous adenocarcinoma cancer...?

---

My grandmother has mucinous adenocarcinoma of a unknown primary site. The doctors aren't running any tests and say she won't make it through the night.. anyone with any information please tell me what I can/should do?
Sorry to hear about your grandmother's condition. Apparently her cancer has spread to multiple areas inside her. There are a lot of times, with cancer, that Drs. try to weigh the risk vs. benefit of further treatment to provide whatever further "quality of life" they can give the patient. Sometimes the cancer, in this case a very difficult and aggressive type of cell, is impossible to remove when it is attached to vital organs which if removed would cause death. Other times the result of removing the cancer leaves the patient much more dependent on others and can infringe on their privacy and modesty (such as that associated with colostomy or urostomy surgery). If her time is short, just comfort her and know she will be without pain soon and tell her you love her. She will be calm and quiet when it is her time. No one really knows exactly when one's time is up, but the Drs. will have a fairly accurate idea. Make sure you say loving things around her as she will still be able to hear conversations when she appears asleep. She is very lucky to have a granddaughter who cares.  (+ info)

Is it possible to surgically remove adenocarcinoma ( Cancer) of Lung which has slightly invaded a bone?

---

My father is suffering with adenocarcinoma (Cancer) in right upeerlobe of lung, and the tumor has invaded a bone, is it possible to remove it with surgery?
Please note that it has not spread to any other part of the body till now !
They may decide to operate if they can destroy the cancer in the bone thru means of chemo and/or radiation. Seldom do they operate if the cancer has spread to another area other than the original site. There is an exciting new trial being used right now with lung cancers, I'll attach the link for you. You could print it off and your Dad can ask his oncologist if he may be suitable for the trial.  (+ info)

What is the average prognosis for pancreatic adenocarcinoma?

---

I realize this is different for everyone, but is their about an average survival percentage for pancreatic adenocarcinoma? and if not, how long patients have to live?
You have to tell us which stage - I,II,II,IV ?
Here's a good overview from the NCI (National Cancer Institute)
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/pancreatic/patient
If you give us a stage, we can give you averages.
Note that averages are not specific predictions for any single person.
Some do better than average. Some do not do as well

From this site http://cancer.emedtv.com/pancreatic-cancer/pancreatic-cancer-survival-rates-p2.html
Stage plays a role in the pancreatic cancer prognosis. Based on historical data:
7 percent of pancreas cancer cases are diagnosed while the cancer is still confined to the primary site (localized)
26 percent of pancreas cancer cases are diagnosed after the cancer has spread to regional lymph nodes or directly beyond the primary site
52 percent of pancreatic cancer cases are diagnosed after the cancer has already metastasized (distant stage)
14 percent of pancreatic cancer cases had staging information that was unknown.

The corresponding 5 year relative pancreatic cancer survival rates were:
* 16.4 percent for localized
* 7.0 percent for regional
* 1.8 percent for distant
* 4.3 percent for unstaged.  (+ info)

What to expect with Adenocarcinoma cancer?

---

My brother was just diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma cancer after he had a tumor removed (they tested the tumor after removal). This is the same type that our mother died from when she was in her early 40's. My brother is only 27. He is going to see a specialist soon. What should he expect? Will they give him a stage that his cancer is in? I don't understand how this could happen, because he's only 27. He smokes, for most of his life he has, will this effect it?
The tumor was in his neck in a gland.
They will give him a stage when he goes to the doctor. i dont think it is a good idea for him to be smoking anymore best if he quits. i cant give you an answer right now on what to expect until you know the stage he is in, but if its in like stage one or two then it might be operable and some kemo and radiation, but after that im not sure. let me know what stage and i will find out more.  (+ info)

You’re a 54 year old male with a name like Vanessa?
Cancer in the small intestine is not very common, but they should have removed the tumor.  (+ info)
