The prognosis for most treated patients with progressing, recurring, or relapsing cancer is poor, regardless of cell type or stage. Deciding on further treatment depends on many factors, including the specific cancer, previous treatment, site of recurrence, and individual patient considerations. Treatments that are under clinical evaluation are appropriate and should be considered when possible.
