Many patients who are diagnosed with stage four cancer will not live one year. Others may survive five years or more depending on where the primary cancer is located and where it has spread.
Once the cancer has spread metastasized to other parts of the body the survival rate is much lower. Lung cancer is often not detected until it has spread. Life expectancy for cancers is typically expressed as a 5-year survival rate the percent of patients who will be alive 5 years after diagnosis.
