Overview
If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
OR
Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
OR
Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of (disease name) usually develop in the first/ second/ third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as ___.
- The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___.
- If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
Complications
- Common complications of appendix cancer include:
- Acute appendicitis
- Pseudomyxoma pritonei
- ?????????
Prognosis

- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.

- Poor prognostic factors for appendiceal adenocarcinoma are as follows:
- Advanced stage
- High grade
- Nonmucinous histology
- Spread of the tumor beyond the left lower quadrant
- Presence of malignant cells outside of the visceral peritoneum of the appendix
- Poor prognostic factors in the presence of pseudomyxoma peritonei are as follows:
- Abdominal distension
- Weight loss
- High histological grade
- Morphological evidence of invasion of underlying structures
