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.
1 Stage of the cancer â This is the most critical factor. 2  According to the National Cancer Institute*, survival for Stage I colon or rectal cancer is about 93 percent. 3  Survival for Stage II is between 72 and 85 percent and for Stage III, 44 and 83 percent.4  Chemotherapy may improve prognosis for Stage III cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute*, survival for Stage I colon or rectal cancer is about 93 percent. 2  Survival for Stage II is between 72 and 85 percent and for Stage III, 44 and 83 percent.
