I was recently diagnosed with a neuroendocrine carcinoma or carcinoid. Apparently it started in my ear and metastasized to my neck and brain (right temporal lobe). I m very scared of whats going to happen. It s very rare according to the doctors I have been talking to. I just wanted to know if I have surgery, what is the survival rate and possible complications? Thank you
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have neuroendocrine carcinoma with multiple metastasis. It is already a later stage cancer. Surgery will not help you much as it is widespread. So treatment of choice remain chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Chance of improvement are very less. It has poor prognosis. Life expectancy is not good. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.
