My sister aged 50 with two children 18 and 12 underwent surgery to remove her spleen a month ago. She only had vague symptoms before surgery. Now the biopsy reveals that she has cancer. what is the possible outcome of this. Has the cancer cells originated from spleen or metatased from other organs? please reply. Thanks

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You should search the cause first. Whuch type of cancer you have is very important. Cancer metastasis in spleen is very uncommon. Primary tumours of spleen may be lymphoma or otherd and it has other foci also. So first tell me which cancer you have so that I can help you further.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
