It is difficult to define how many years one can live after metastasis of neuroendocrine carcinoma, and it is also very much related to the site of development, such as neuroendocrine carcinoma of prostate, the average survival period is less than one year.
Neuroendocrine carcinoma belongs to malignant tumors with relatively high degree of malignancy, mainly originated from neuroendocrine cells.
Neuroendocrine carcinomas occurring in different organs have different specificity, for example, neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung has the biological characteristics of small-cell lung cancer, and this kind of tumor has a relatively high degree of malignancy, and the survival period of patients is relatively short.
Without systematic treatment, the survival period usually does not exceed one year. If the patient is in good health, the survival period will be prolonged after systematic treatment.
It is recommended to go to the hospital in time for consultation and treatment under the guidance of specialized doctors when metastasis of neuroendocrine cancer occurs.
