A member asked:
What is the average life expectancy for patients diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer stage 4?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

Not great : Less than 10% of patients survive past 5 years. Average life expectancy is about a year on average.
