What is survival rate for lung cancer that's spread to diaphragm & lymph nodes in neck & chest wall, stage IV?

Question

First round of chemotherapy done-report, the cancer is "shrinking" in affected areas. What is the chance of full recovery or survival & for how long?

Answer 1

I would say that this is good news that the first round of chemo is shrinking the effected areas. Any cancer at stage IV is more difficult to treat because so many different areas are affected. It is not a death sentence, even if it has spred to the lymph nodes.

My son had lymph node involvement with multiple abdominal sarcoma. He was diagnosed with a stage IV almost 20 months ago. It took almost three rounds of high dose chemotherapy for him to even respond . . and than it was only 20% shrinkage (for some tumors). By the 5th or 6th round of chemo he had significant shrinkage, tumors had dissappeared in the chest wall and lymph nodes and he was able to undergo debulking surgery which removed 75% of the visible tumors. He continued on high dose chemo, and than underwent an experimental procedure called hypthermic chemoperfusion. During surgery they bathed his abdominal cavity with chemo and scrapped his diaphragm of hundred of tiny seeded tumors. He responded very well. Continued with chemo. We are still fighting this disease, but he now has only two 1 cm nodules on the dome of the liver between the diaphragm left. He's come a long way from that stage IV.

So, much depends on the overall health of the patient, the age of the patient, and how they respond to further treatment. Don't worry about survival rates . . just concentrate on how they are doing today . . in the moment . . at this time.

There is always hope.

Answer 2

Statistically, the 5 year survival rate for stage IV lung cancer is 0-2%. Treatment regimens for lung cancer have not yielded good cure rates, but they are useful in prolonging life.

Answer 4

i hate to bring you down but the survival rate is very very slim...once the cancer spreads to the lymphnodes you're pretty much done for....the lymph nodes help get rid of infections but with cancer it harbors the disease and helps spread it...so cancer in the lymph nodes spreads it to other organs....and the fact that it's stage 4 is also not very good...but there is always hope...my guess would be 6 months to a year....even if the cancer is shrinking...

Answer 5

It sounds like the treatments are working. Im glad to hear that. But my husband was diagnosed stage 4 lung cancer March 20th He went thru radiation, chemo, gamma knife procedure and rook a drug called tarceva. He passed June 6th. So sorry. Good luck.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes. And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you. Visit here : https://tinyurl.im/aH1Rv to find out what all the fuss is about.

Answer 7

As soon as any cancer is spreading, the docs are getting nervous.

I think it would be difficult for anyone to put a timescale on this for you. The best your going to get on here is other peoples' personal experience.

I would personally suggest asking a consultant or doctor dealing with the person in question.

Wishing you all the best :-)

I am very sorry to say but her life expectancy for this (Stage 1V lung cancer) where it has spread to her bones is in MONTHS. I would say approx 10-15 weeks. God bless. Just be there for her and expect the worst.

my mum was diagnosed with lung cancer which was in one lung but had spread to the lymph nodes in her neck, she underwent surgery to remove the lung and lymph nodes in her neck that were infected and went on to develop an infection in her remaining lung which went on to cause multiple organ failure, which she died from, i wish you and your family well, god bless .
