I get into a lot of problems when I start to practice law and medicine. From the outside, as an informed amateur, I can say that it depends on several variables, such as the type of cancer, the age of the patient, what stage it has achieved, the treatment, probably genetics. Even a doctor who is familiar with the patient and his condition can only guess at a range of survival based on his own research, and even then, his judgment can be skewed by his desire for the patient to survive.
So the short answer is, based on the information we have been given here, nobody knows.
