+what are the survival rate for stomache cancer in women
My wife was diagnosed stage 4 pancreatic cancer, spread to her liver, in October 2009. She was given 6 months without treatment, maybe 1 year with. She completed chemo in May 2010, and has had 2 PET scans since, and is cancer free. Man gives no hope, but God is bigger than any cancer. With God, there is always hope. Pancreatic Cancer Survival Rates. Pancreatic cancer survival rates are one of the lowest among cancers survival rates, with less than 5% of those diagnosed with the disease reaching the 5 year survival mark. Pancreatic cancer is considered to be the “worst” of all cancers. RE: alternative treatments for stomach cancer. by DorothyL on Wed Dec 14, 2011 11:24 AM. Thanks for your response. The options we are given is 9 weeks of 3 different kinds of chem (apparently the worse kind), removal of the stomach, and then 9 more weeks of chemo. 5 year survival rate is 27% with most people living for only 24 months. we were also told that CT scans are not conclusive and that if he is opened up (surgery), and there is cancer there (which is possible), then, in the doctor's own words, then we've let the horse out of the barn. Dr's vary in treatment options since there is no standard in stomach cancer chemo.. it mostly depends on where they were trained. That being said, the dr will give equal important to how you are handling the side effects. Unlike you, we were not even given the option of surgery...statistics said 16 months. Death rate in men has decreased by 3% and in women, the death rate has decreased by 3.7%. Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is caused without the abnormal cells, and is the seventh most common cancer in both, males and females. It is more common as compared to the Hodgkins. Its occurrence rate is 6.6%. The survival rate has increased in the last 5 years, and according to a survey, it has increased to 84.4%. However, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma still remains the ninth most common cause of death in males and sixth most common cause of death in females. This statistics is for the people living in United States of America. According to a research, the survival rate for the disease is 95.5% for young adults below the age of 20 years. However, in the last 30 years, the deaths due to the disease has decreased. Statistics bear witness to the claim that this is one of the deadliest of all cancers as medical intervention can improve pancreatic cancer survival rates marginally only and that too for about 15-20% of patients only. Ovarian Cancer Tip-Preparing for Surgery. The researchers concluded that women who have a second surgery to treat recurrent ovarian cancer appear to have a longer survival time than those who receive only chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy without additional surgery. After the surgery, 3% of patients had small amounts of residual cancer remaining and 15% had large amounts of residual cancer remaining. The average survival time with this treatment regimen was 36 months, with a 5-year survival rate of 28%. Women who had a long interval between initial treatment and the cancer recurrence had better outcomes, as did those who had only small amounts of visible cancer at the time of the second treatment. Despite recent improvements, initial or first-line chemotherapy fails to produce a remission in more than 70% of patients with ovarian cancer. Furthermore, approximately 40-50% of the women who do achieve a remission after first-line chemotherapy will experience a recurrence of cancer within 3 years.
5 year survival rate is 27%
