My friend has adenocarcinoma esophageal cancer and has just developed as ascites. I am wondering now if they find cancer in the fluid that was drained from her abdomen just how long they will g Say that she has to live. My husband, a retired physician, says she probably has only a couple of months.
If cancer cells are found in ascitic fluid then it will be stage 4 disease with a low survival rate. Patients with this stage on average survive less than six months.
