Can someone die really suddenly from stage 4 lung cancer?

Sudden death can unfortunately occur at any stage of lung cancer. Staging depends on how far from the original site the cancer has spread. Basically: Stage 1 is confined to the area of the lung where the cancer started. Stage 2 means that it has spread to the lymph nodes but still near the original source. Stage 3 means it has spread to the chest wall or to the other lung Stage 4 means that it has spread to another part of the body. Any stage can be lethal, but death can occur more quickly the more advanced the stage. This is due to the fact the cancer can shut down other organs besides the lungs.


Is stage 3 breast cancer curable?
