How long does someone with Liposarcoma stage 4 in abdomen and lungs have to live?

Depends on many factors not surprisingly. Incidence of this rare cancer is low enough that there is not enough data to predict survival rates or survival times with any accuracy. Treatment options that can prolong life include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. It is a cancer of connective tissue so may interfere with activities of organs rather than invade directly. Makes treatment difficult with L sarc surrounding organs making excision and radiation difficult without removal of organs. In advanced forms does met to liver and lungs. Lung mets can often be excised. Many people have survived long term in spite of repeated chemo, radiation and extensive surgeries. Survival of this cancer is best measured by dying of something else than the 5 year rule

What parts of the body are affected by lung cancer?

In Stage 0, the cancer is located in an extremely localized area and only affects the first few layers of cells. At this stage, the cancer has not yet progressed beyond the surface lining of a patient's lungs. In Stage I, the cancer is located only in the patient's lungs and the tissue surrounding the lungs is normal. In Stage II, the cancer has spread from the lungs and affected the lymph nodes near the lungs. In Stage III, the cancer has spread to other organs surrounding the lungs, such as the diaphragm and the chest wall. In some cases, the cancer may also spread to separate parts of the lymphatic system. In Stage IV, the cancer has spread to parts of the body that are not adjacent or near the lungs.
