If it's fourth stage chances of being fully cured are less, to be blunt chance of 5 year survival not more than 50%... However to exactly suggest about chances would need an access to disease status, histology, patient general condition etc

Prognosis of throat malignancy depends on lot of factors. Area of involvement, general condition of the patient, primary site of malignancy, lymph node involvement, distant metastasis etc. So all these details are necessary to comment on life expectancy in these patients
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or oncosurgeon for more information about the prognosis
