A member asked:

49 year old male has stage vi lung adenocarcinoma. no gene mutations receiving chemo and avastin (bevacizumab) received radiation on foot and brain. what prognosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It varies according : Patients with stage 4 lung cancer have an average survival of 12 months but there is a wide range from 9 months to 18 months. Some patients can live for 2-5 years but that is rare and only happens if their tumor shows a great response to chemotherapy.
