In short, very very bad.

Cancer pathologists use the staging and grading system as a way to universally describe the severity and degree of the cancer. It uses a scale from 1, being benign to 4, being extremely malignant. The stage of a tumor represents how large and invasive it is. The grade of a tumor represents how anaplastic/dedifferentiated/primitive the cells of the tumor are.

Doctors also use the standardized T(umor)N(ode)M(etastisis) system, promoted by the International Union Against Cancer. This diagnostic tool is more of a chart with a more accurate description of the cancer.

Stage 4 Cancer is described as a large tumor that is very invasive.

The grade of a stage 4 cancer would be very anaplastic.

Anaplastic- has reverted back to "look like" a stem cell and has ceased to look like the surrounding, healthy tissue in any respect.

What is worst is a value judgement and will be different for different people.Some would say that the worst cancer is the one that is killing you. For many women, the worst cancer may be breast cancer, because of how it impacts self-image and relationships with husbands.Some cancers are less readily curable than others and some have no current cures or even treatments. Many would say those are "the worst."
