That's hard to say. If benign, it will "last" for as long as the person lives. Tumors don't just go away. Because of the location, frontal tumors can have a big impact on behavior and can cause reckless, irresponsible behavior which could endanger a person bringing about an untimely death.
If malignant and slow-growing, it could take years. If malignant and aggressive, as long as 18 months. Depends on at what stage of the tumor the diagnosis is made, how long the tumor has been present.
Antibiotics aren't used to treat tumors, they are not a bacterial infection.
You'd have to be much more specific in your question.

Are we talking about a tumor or infection? Antibiotics don't cure tumors and a tumor will last until surgery, shrinkage by chemotherapy or death.
