Not necessarily. 5-year survival rates for stage 4 throat cancer vary anywhere from 25-50% based on the extent and location of the tumor itself.

Not sure where you have "seen" these doctors say that, but the Hematology/Oncology physicians I have worked with will very rarely give up like that. If anything, the vast majority are too aggressive, when in reality the best course of action would be to back up and simply recommend the patient go the palliative care route.
