What is the life expectancy for stage 4 melanoma skin cancer?

Stage 4 is the last stage and it is not curable. Usually patients with stage 4 disease are encouraged to enter clinical trials. We have not been able to find an effective treatment for this cancer so there isn’t a standard way to treat it as there is with most other cancers. The median survival is 6-7 months at stage 4. I’m very sorry.
