Q: how long will you have with stage 4 lung cancer?

Stage 4 Cancer: Most patient last less than 5 year.

Q: how quickly does stage 4 lung cancer take to progress?

Quick: Depends on cell type and location of the metastasis to be accurate. Months not years usually.

Q: how long can someone survive with stage 4 lung cancer?

Limited: What type? Small cell briefly nsclc depends on location and metastasis! metastatic to lung from other organs may respond to removal responses to chemo&/ radiation are also variable stage 4 is not removable, so limited survival is the usual.

Question 1

explain the physical progression of stage 4 metastasis lung cancer  in brains and pelvic with an  8 month diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Much: This is much too difficult to handle in an email. This should be discussed with your primary care physician/aprn and/or the oncologist. www.thepmc.org.

Question 2

what portion of a blood test tells progression of lung cancer?

Accepted Answer

: "Progression" of lung cancer is generally monitored by radiographic imaging (CT or MRI) which may show metastatic disease. Cancer progression can also result in diminished respiratory reserve.  "Blood tests" may show changes in elements of cellular composite content (anemia, higher white cell content, for example).

Question 3

lung cancer stage 4 + how long to live?

Accepted Answer

Lung cancer: Unfortunately, stage 4 lung cancer is almost always fatal. The average survival of people with stage 4 lung cancer who undergo chemotherapy is about a year. Some people live much longer than a year, but only rarely will someone live more than 3-5 years. Discuss your particular situation with your oncologist.

Question 4

what is the average life expectancy for patients diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer stage 4?

Accepted Answer

Very low-5% 5 yr.  : Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer is metastasis to any site other than lung, like brain.  This has a very low 5 year survival of 5% or less.  Very few (about 20%) have localized dissease at diagnosis.

Question 5

how many chemotherapy circles are possible in small cell lung cancer stage 4? is it curable if it is spread in bones too or if it is life prolongable?

Accepted Answer

4-6 cycles 1st line: Usually 4-6 cycles of plantin/vp16 as 1st line. Small cell lung cancer (stage iv) is not curable with current treatment regimen, but current therapy can prolong the survival even for stage IV small cell lung cancer.

Question 6

stage 4 lung cancer any advice?

Accepted Answer

Low, less than 5%.: In stage IV lung cancer, the 5 year survival is <5%.  This is where the lung cancer has metastasized to anywhere else in the body.  Palliative care might be the best option at this point.

Question 7

stage 4 lung cancer how long until death?

Accepted Answer

3-6 months.: 3-6 months. As long as a year is some cases.

Question 8

Quick: Depends on cell type and location of the metastasis to be accurate.
Months not years usually.

Question 10

how long can someone survive with stage 4 lung cancer?

Accepted Answer

Limited: What type?
Small cell briefly
nsclc depends on location and metastasis!

metastatic to lung from other organs may respond to removal
responses to chemo&/ radiation are also variable
stage 4 is not removable, so limited survival is the usual.
