What Is The Life Expectancy Of A Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma Patient?
I was diagnosed with stage 111C primary peritoneal carcinoma. The Dr. was only able to remove 95. The remaining 5% is on the liver and intestines. I have done chemo for 10 months straight on a 3 week on 1 week off routine. Each scan shows no improvement. What is my life expectancy and what would be my next step? I am 35 yrs old.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have stage IIIc peritoneal carcinoma.
If complete surgical removal is not possible then it has poor prognosis. Despite of chemotherapy life expectancy is not good. 5 year survival rate is very low.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
