One of the most important questions anyone affected by a potentially terminal disease seeks the answer for, is prognosis. While research and clinical trial is of major importance in the search for the right answers, there is no doubt about the fact that every patient and every case carries specificities that influence the outcome. Cytogenetics (the study of normal and abnormal cells, chromosomes), age, and performance status of the disease have long determined prognosis and therapy. Always consult with your specialist about the available options for treatment and therapy, as well as about your inclination to change the outlined treatment plan.
