What cancer patients have the best chance for cure after high levels of CEA have been detected?
Those with recurrence in the same area as the original cancer, or with a single metastatic tumor in the liver or lung, have a chance that surgery will eliminate the disease.
Is brain cancer and brain tumor or same?
No, but a brain tumor is cancerous, just not quite the same. I hope you don't mind, but I have a story to tell you. My mom had a brain tumor, it was the size of an orange. I don't remember it because I was maybe 4. The operation to remove it took maybe 4 hours, and she is fine now, but has lost a little bit of memory, like math and science. Anyways, a brain tumor is abnormal development of tissue that squishes your brain and can kill you easily. Brain cancer is when cells in your brain begin to grow out of control because those cells have DNA damage and when they make another through asexual reproduction, the new cell has DNA damage. The roundup: My mom had a brain tumor when I was around four; A brain tumor and brain cancer are both cancerous but different because a brain tumor is excessive growth of tissue; brain cancer is when a damaged cell in your brain reproduces asexually and keeps reproducing until there are too many damaged brain cells. Hope I helped! :)
How do you sell products to a person with brain cancer?

What is the survival rate for bone cancer?
Prognosis:Metastatic breast cancer isn't the same for everyone who has it. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), your symptoms at stage 4 will depend on the degree to which the cancer has spread in your body.Although metastatic breast cancer has no cure, it can be treated. Receiving proper treatment can increase both your quality of life and your longevity.Metastasised:To understand the prognosis for stage 4 breast cancer, it helps to know something about the process of metastasis. When cancer "metastasizes," it has spread beyond the part of the body where it originated. In the case of breast cancer, receiving a stage 4 diagnosis may mean the cancer has reached your bones, lungs, liver, or even your brain.Stage 4 Breast Cancer:If you've been told that you have metastatic breast cancer, this means that the cancer has advanced to what's known as "stage 4."Stage 4 breast cancer is defined as having spread beyond the breast tissue into other areas of the body.
Cindy, I'm very sorr?
Cindy, I'm very sorry to hear of your mother's cancer. It sounds like she has already been through a lot. What to expect depends on a lot of things. The first consideration is whether or not the cancer began in the lung (true lung cancer) or somewhere else and spread to the lungs (for example, colon cancer that spreads to the lungs-this is called metastatic cancer). True lung cancer can be very small to quite extensive, and the prognosis varies widely based upon the extent of the disease. If the cancer is metastatic, the expected duration of survival is relatively short. Additionally, different types of cancer, even from the same organ, can behave differently, and some are more aggressive than others. Precise numbers in terms of time are difficult to predict, although some parameters can be given. Her physician should be able to provide these numbers for you based upon the specifics of the cancer itself. You mentioned she is otherwise healthy, which is a great beginning, and it seems that she has a great support system in you.
How many people die of brain tumors?
Brain tumors will kill ~13,000 people in the US this year, and they are the second leading cause of cancer deaths in children and young adults [1] Ruggiero A, Cefalo G, Garre ML, Massimino M, Colosimo C, Attina G, et al: Phase II trial of temozolomide in children with recurrent high-grade glioma. J Neurooncol 2005, 1-6.
Is a brain lesion the same as a brain tumor?

What is the percent of cancer coming back in different area than it did before?
The question is rather vague. Are you asking what are the chances of recurrence of cancer in different part of the body? Or are you asking what are the prevalence of cases of cancer in different geographical areas in the world and how that has changed in time? Alot of people think that cancer is cancer. As if you say the word cancer and that is the end all be all description. There are many different types of cancers even in the same organ. Please clarify your question and be specific. There are volumns and volumns of books written on just different organ systems and the cancers that affect it. If you're not specific then its impossible for us to answer. This question is like asking whats the percentage of people who saw that thing last week. Addendum: Ok I think I understand what you're trying to ask. You're asking what are the chances of metastatic disease for a specific cancer. Metastatic disease means that cancer that has been growing in one organ travels and starts growing in another part of the body. To answer the question, you need to know the STAGING of your initial primary tumor. Your pathologist would have included staging information along with the diagnosis. You can find staging information and how it relates to prognosis (survival and metastatic potential) in many books. If you provide the specific type of cancer, where it's located, staging information, age, and how long ago was the diagnosis, people might be able to help you here. You can also call and ask to speak with your pathologist and he can help you out.
