Poor prognosis: What you describe is either stage 4 non-small cell carcinoma of the lung or extensive small cell carcinoma of the lung that is/was inoperable and has failed to respond to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Nearly all of these situations result in the death of the patient from disease. Options for patients in this setting may include palliative care and possibly experimental clinical trials.

Poor: Stage 4 lung cancer is bad, but things are worse when no therapy is recommended. It is time to consider hospice or comfort care.
