Tumor aftercare
recommendations:
- In year 1 and 2: every 3 months clinical examination, local X-ray control, laboratory, thorax -CT, whole body skeleton scintigraphy, every 6 months local MRI
- In years 3 to 5: every 6 months clinical examination, local X-ray control, laboratory, thoracic CT, whole body skeletal scintigraphy, every 12 months local MRI
- From year 6: every 12 months clinical examination, local X-ray control, laboratory, X-ray thorax, in case of doubt whole-body skeletal scintigraphy and local MRI
Forecast
The prognosis depends on the degree of differentiation of the fine tissue and the possibility of radical surgery. If the degree of differentiation is high and “radical” surgery is possible, the probability of survival for 5 years is about 90 %. Renewed tumour growth can still occur after more than 10 years.
