What Are The Chances Of Adenocarcinoma For A Smoking Patient?
My husband's father died of adenocarcinoma that spread to his liver. He died at age 50. What are my husband's chances of getting it since he smokes and is 43 yrs old. He has smoked since age 14 and he had a colonoscopy 2 yrs ago with 4 polyps removed in which 3 of them were the kind that cause cancer if not removed. What kind of percentage risk does he have?
