I have a familly member who just diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. Stage 4 is an advanced stage and usually means that cancer has spread through out the body. This does not mean that is 100% terminal. You need to look at the age of the patient, their over all health and the stage together. You should always be realistic and prepare yourself for the worst but still try to be supportive and hope for the best. If you are asking because you or someone you know has been diagnosed. Then i wish you the best. Make sure to always get more than one opinion on treatment and that you are dealing with specialist. You want someone who specializes on your type of cancer as they will probably have the most information and provide you with the best course of action.

Hi, Cancer has 5 stages. Every Stage is a way for physicians to know how advanced the cancer is and how aggresive is the cancer as well of the treatment. So saying this cancer stage 4 is very aggressive but not unbeatable and all depends where is the cancer and if it spread and again where? and if this is something related to you or somebody that you know; the best answers will come from the physicians involve. my friend was told today that he had stage 4 melanoma and they removed a large part of the skin on top of his head.
