Question
sir after surjury of tumor who much does the patient have for survive and how can we get rid for this cancer plz plz guid me

Answer
Unfortunately malignant grade IV (4) brain tumours are incurable and eventually fatal (deadly). Treatment (surgery, radiation therapy & chemotherapy) can at most only decrease symptoms temporarily and prolong survival. Even with full treatment survival time will be around one year or a little longer. I'm sorry I have nothing better to tell you!
