How long can a person typically live after being diagnosed with duodenal cancer?
Disease description:
Since my father was diagnosed with duodenal cancer—and his condition has now become quite advanced—I would like to ask: With aggressive treatment, what is the typical life expectancy for patients with duodenal cancer?

Hello, duodenal cancer is a relatively common malignant tumor in clinical practice. This type of cancer significantly impacts patients’ health and can directly threaten life. Survival duration for duodenal cancer depends on disease severity: with early diagnosis and effective control, the 5-year survival rate may be achieved—or even exceeded—whereas for intermediate- or advanced-stage disease, survival may be limited to approximately one year or less. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
