Yes Jason it is possible.
Stage IV for my husband as he was assessed with distant node involvement outside the region. Because the nodes were located outside the "local" tumor region, it is considered distant metastasis. Also, because of the location of the nodes involved, the vascular interference makes it in-operable which is also considered stage IV because resection is not an option.
Hope this helps.
