What is the survial rate of stage 4 uterine cancer if it is not operatable?


please no mean or cruel answers. I cant find what Im looking for online.

With most cancers, stage 4 has a very poor prognosis.

With Uterine cancer, the survival rates with stage 4 are still reasonably good.

Keep in mind, that each case is different, so a lot depends on if you are a cup half full or half empty kind of person.

UTERINE CANCER
Survival from uterine cancer is better in women with less extensive spread and aged 55 years and older at diagnosis.
There has been little change by period of diagnosis and only slight declines in survival over time. Survival in NSW is
better than the UK and slightly lower than the US.
There were 2,454 cases of uterine cancer diagnosed in NSW residents in 1999鈥?003 and followed to the end of
2004. Of these, 374 (15.2%) died of uterine cancer, 163 (6.6%) died of other causes and 1,917 (78.1%) were alive at
the end of 2004. The five-year relative survival for uterine cancer was 80.5% (95%CI 77.9 to 83.1).
Compared to cases diagnosed in the earlier time period of 1980鈥?9951 and 1980鈥?9962, five-year relative survival
for uterine cancer remained the same in females diagnosed between 1999 and 2003. The proportion surviving
five years post diagnosis went from 81.8% (95%CI 80.5 to 83.1)1 to 81.2% (95%CI 78.7 to 83.8).
Survival by age category
Five-year relative survival for uterine cancer declined with age, particularly in females aged over 75 years at diagnosis.
For females aged 15 to 44 years at diagnosis, five-year survival was 84.2%, declining to 85.1% in those aged
55 to 64 years and 73.4% in those aged 75 years and older.
Survival by extent of disease at diagnosis
Survival five years post diagnosis declined with extent of disease at diagnosis. Survival was 93.7% for localised
disease, 67.7% for regional spread, 27.4% for distant metastases and 78.6% for unknown spread. NSW five-year
survival for localised cancer was slightly lower than the United States figure (SEER, 1996鈥?002) of 95.7%. NSW
five-year survivals appear higher, however, than corresponding United States figures of 66.9% for regional spread and
23.1% for distant metastases.
Survival by diagnostic period
Five-year survival for uterine cancer did not significantly improve by diagnostic period, from 76.3% in 1980鈥?983 to
77.5% in 1984鈥?988, 80.4% in 1989鈥?993, 80.6% in 1994鈥?998 and 81.2% in 1999鈥?003. However, in an earlier
time period after adjustment for age at diagnosis, histology and spread of cancer, a significant improvement in survival
by period of diagnosis was found.2 Adjusting covariates shows a survival improvement by period of diagnosis,
indicating that changes in age and spread of cancer have influence on survival.
Survival for cases diagnosed in 1994鈥?998 and followed for 10 years was 80.6% at five years to 77.3% at 10 years.
For those diagnosed in 1989鈥?993 and followed for 15 years survival was 80.4% at five years and 72.8% at 15 years.
Survival for those diagnosed in 1984鈥?988 and followed for 20 years was 77.5% at five years and 73.8% at
20 years. Most improvement in survival for uterine cancer takes place in the first five years from diagnosis with
minimal changes in survival thereafter (see Appendix).

I hope it isn't you you're asking for...I hate to hear anyone has cancer. I'm not sure the survival rate. Obviously Stage 4 isn't good, but it is by NO means a death sentence any time soon. Many, many people live with it for a long time. I hope you get the answers you're looking for.

Like with every other illness strong will to stay alive is crucial..+happiness-stay happy-no stress. Eat right and exercise--go outside..be around colorful things. There are herbs that can help..talk to your doctor to learn if you can use natural remedies.. sometimes if you are taking medicines it may not be advisable.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Suriving stage 4 cancer is very low.
