− | First, surgery: all surgery has a {{bad|2%}} failure chance, and the "Excise carcinoma" surgery has a {{bad|25%}} death chance on fail. This means that for every carcinoma that grows, there is a {{bad|0.5%}} chance the pawn will die. | + | First, surgery: all surgery has a {{bad|2%}} failure chance, and the "Excise carcinoma" surgery has a {{bad|25%}} death chance on fail. This means that for every carcinoma that grows, there is a {{bad|0.5%}} chance the pawn will die. This means you can expect to lose a pawn at around the 138th carcinoma, on average. This seems rather high, but you could get unlucky and have it happen sooner, especially if you use nuclear stomachs on many pawns. |
The other option is treatment. Carcinomas are quite variable, having a random chance to grow or shrink on their own, independent of treatment. On average they take 111 days to cure with the best treatment, slightly shorter than the 120 day average carcinoma generation rate from the stomach. This means you can expect your pawn to nearly constantly have a single mild carcinoma, requiring a 1 medicine treatment every 4 days (15 medicine per year per pawn). Technically this also makes the body part have {{--|25%}} efficiency, but nuclear stomach carcinomas generate in the torso, and torso part efficiency has no effect on any stat. | The other option is treatment.
