Since 1967, Fermilab has worked to answer these and other fundamental questions and enhance our understanding of everything we see around us. As the United States' premier particle physics laboratory, we work on the world's most advanced particle accelerators and dig down to the smallest building blocks of matter.
So, survival rate and life expectancy for stage 4 prostate cancer cannot be favorable. âº The five-year relative survival rate for prostate cancer that has spread to distant organs is 28%. This means about 28% of the patients with stage 4 prostate cancer will live for five years.
4. Survival rates are significantly better when ovarian cancer is diagnosed in an early stage. With stage I ovarian cancer, the earliest stage, 95 percent of women are alive five years after diagnosis. Only 30 percent of women with stage III or IV ovarian cancer survive five years.
