What is metastatic poorly differentiated carcinoma?
Metastatic poorly differentiated carcinoma is carcinoma that has spread to non-adjacent parts of the body and is identifiable, but too irregular to be further classified. Around 10% of these cases get later classified as other cancers like melanoma and lymphoma.
Lung cancer staging involves the placement of the cancer's progression into stages, or levels. These stages help a physician study cancer and provide consistent definition levels of cancer and corresponding treatments.
My mom had SCL cancer at age 83 and was healthy upon finding out. She had a cough that led to testing. It was limited and she started treatment chemo and radiation. She did extremely well during the 6 mos of treatment and was in remission for over a 1 1/2 years. Sadly it did return and she died just shy of her 85 birthday. She was active, happy and symptom free up until her last 2 months. She was remarkable throughout the treatment and I believe that is why she survived two years from diagnosis. Those two years were good years and she took each day at a time and never let it stop her until the very end.

Mr. Varney did not, however, allow pictures to be taken of him smoking, holding a cigarette or putting one out. He did not smoke in movies, either. He didn't want kids to feel like they should smoke because their childhood hero, 'Ernest' smoked. After he found out he was diagnosed with cancer, he quit cold turkey but sadly, it was too late.
He was diagnosed in August of 1998 after coughing up blood. The doctors removed a fist sized tumor in his lung and had to deal with other complications. He succumbed to the cancer February 10, 2000. He died peacefully in his sleep at his White House home at 4:45 a.m.

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. Found @ http://www.lawyershop.com/practice-areas/asbestos-mesothelioma/lung-cancer/stages/
