What is the prognosis for stage 4 throat cancer?

The stage 4 throat cancer prognosis depends a lot on the particular case: where the cancer started, where it’s spread, how big it is, how fast it grows, and how healthy the patient is overall.

When throat cancer is caught earlier the prognosis is often really good. I’ve read that some 90% of people at this stage can be cured. For stage 4 throat cancer prognosis, if you’re looking for general statistics, the best source I found said about 30% of patients live five or more years.
