My father 81 yrs old diagnosis lung cancer grade 4 and also prostate cancer what. is his life expectancy?

Cancer: Very likely based on the lung cancer type. The prostate cancer infrequently will affect life expectancy in this case.

Need more info: Sorry to hear about your father. There is not enough information to answer this. Please ask the question again with more details. What is the stage of your father's lung cancer (or did you mean stage 1) and also the stage of his prostate cancer?

It varies: Most likely the lung cancer will be the cause of his death and predictably within months not years - but that is an average and some patients live years with Stage IV lung cancer so prediction is uncertain
