Stage 4 prostate cancer symptoms manifest when cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland to other parts of the body. This advanced stage, also known as metastatic prostate cancer, requires immediate medical attention and careful monitoring.
According to the National Cancer Institute, approximately 8% of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed at stage 4, with a 5-year survival rate of 36.6% compared to nearly 100% for localized and regional cases.
Understanding the following symptoms can help patients seek timely medical intervention. If there has been a delay in diagnosis, affected victims may be entitled to compensation through a medical malpractice claim.

Got Questions on Cancer Misdiagnosis?
Our legal team specializes in medical malpractice and can help you pursue the justice you deserve.
When working with a medical malpractice lawyer, a thorough review of a patient’s medical records comes first. This review is done hand-in-hand with licensed medical experts to evaluate and establish a patient’s claim.
Four key elements are outlined during this initial review. They are:
| Duty of Care – Was there an appropriate doctor-patient relationship? |
| Breach of Duty – Did your doctor perform poorly/negligently based on accepted standards of care? |
| Causation – Did your doctor’s actions/inactions directly cause you harm? |
| Damages – What did these errors cost you? |
Once these are established, a legal team can then proceed to file the claim officially.
