What are the statistics on survival on spleen removal due to cancer?
My son had his spleen removed along near multiple other abdominal tumors. That was two years ago. He take Bactrium three times a week and penicillin daily. He also have to have a flu shot and a pneumonia shot.
Not sure what the statistics are . . and I would suggest that you rebuff them too. Statistics are not meant to apply to individual patients. Everyone is different.
Good luck.
I do not know the statistics on survival, but I do know several people live short a spleen due to rupture or injury usually from an auto accident. If the cancer be contained within the spleen and have not spread to other organs or lymph glands, I would think the party had a vastly good opening of survival. A doctor could give u a better answer, but sometimes they are at a loss for quoting a survival rate. Each individual is different, so goes the outcome.
It depends on the cancer. Spleen remova by itself have a great survival, almost 100%. But it depends on the cancer. The survival rates are better is it is removed for lymphoma, worse if it is removed for leukemia and even worse if it is removed for another kind of cancer next to metastasis. But the patients die because of the cancer not of the spleen removal.
