    Adenocarcinoma is cancer occurring in the cell tissue that lines glandular types of internal organs, including lungs, breasts, prostate, stomach, liver, pancreas and cervix. All cancers are graded, in regards to severity, treatment options and prognosis, in four stages. But the prognosis of these stages can vary according to the type of cancer and where it occurs in the body.

    Stage IV Lung Adenocarcinoma

    Stage IV lung adenocarcinoma is inoperable and does not usually respond to radiation or chemotherapy. According to the National Cancer Institute, only 17 percent of those diagnosed with Stage IV survive beyond five years; eight to 10 months is the usual prognosis.

    Stage IV Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

    Thirty percent of people with Stage IV pancreatic cancer have a three-year survival rate, but less than 5 percent survive five years, according to the Washington University School of Medicine.

    Stage IV Breast Adenocarcinoma

    The prognosis for Stage IV breast cancer is one of the better ones -- it has a 20 percent five-year survival rate, according to the American Cancer Society.

    Stage IV Gastric Cancer and Cholangiocarcinoma

    There is a 7 percent five-year survival rate for those with Stage IV gastric cancer, according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer. With cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct liver cancer), in cases where surgical resection of the bile ducts is not possible, the five-year survival rate is 0 percent; the overall survival rate is less than six months, according to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation.

    Stage IV Prostate and Cervical Cancers

    Prognosis is difficult to pinpoint with prostate and cervical cancers, partly because these cancers respond well to treatment, even in later stages. Also, with prostate cancer, certain clinical tests can indicate a better individual prognosis for some patients. Stage IV cervical adenocarcinoma that has spread to the bladder or rectum has a 20 to 30 percent five-year survival rate, according to the Women's Cancer Center, after diagnosis and treatment.

    Hello there! When it comes to cancer at any stage, there are so many variables that affect life expectancy. First and foremost, a very positive attitude and actually believing that you WILL win this battle is of the utmost importance. The second would be an extremely healthy and organic diet. A person with cancer has to be careful as to what they put into their bodies. Even down to a tylenol. I know that sounds like a little much, but your body can not handle anything that is not pure so to speak. Stress is not your friend. Do what you have to do . Ask your doctor for something to help with the stress of fighting. This I can not stress enough. Also speak to your doctor about a good regiment of vitamins and supplements. This will help you to replace what your body is missing, so it has every chance to fight this. Also very important is a good support system. You need to be around people who are fighting as you are. You will make friends and will also be able to count on them to be there for you to lend an ear and give advise that you may need. All in all, the positve attitude has been scientificically proven to be the most important of all. Many people have beaten cancer due to this. So by no means should you down play this. I hope that this has helped you in some small way. I wish you the best of luck and you are in my prayers. If you need you vent, feel free to e-mail me at anytime. I will be as supportive as I can be over the internet ;)

    Stage 4 is terminal stage with only palliative treatment and very poor prognosis(Sorry to state). I do not agree with 50% chances for ? cure. You need to talk to treating DOC or can take second opinion. In this treatment curative therapy is not possible.
