Thanks for your question on HCM.
Outcome and life expectancy is very low in lung malignancy. And it is decreased further if emphysema and diabetes are present.
Life expectancy is also depending on type of tumour, distant metastases occured or not etc.
On an average life expectancy in lung malignancy is not more than 1 year. In your father 's case it may be around 8-9 months.
