Since 1967, Fermilab has worked to answer these and other fundamental questions and enhance our understanding of everything we see around us. As the United States' premier particle physics laboratory, we work on the world's most advanced particle accelerators and dig down to the smallest building blocks of matter.
So, survival rate and life expectancy for stage 4 prostate cancer cannot be favorable. âº The five-year relative survival rate for prostate cancer that has spread to distant organs is 28%. This means about 28% of the patients with stage 4 prostate cancer will live for five years.
For this advanced cancer the survival rates are lower. Only about 7 men out of every 100 (7%) will survive for 5 years or more after they are diagnosed. And around 8 out of every 100 (8%) women with stage 4 colorectal cancer will survive for 5 years or more after diagnosis.
