1 Women diagnosed with breast cancer that had spread to nearby skin or lymph nodes (regional breast cancer) had 10-year survival rates go up from 16.2% in 1944-54 to 74.1% by 1995-2004.
Survival Rates. Survival rates are based on studies of cancer patients during and after treatment. However, some of these studies were done 10 or more years ago, and cancer medications and methods have changed a great deal over the years. The life expectancy for a specific type of cancer is often reported as a five-year survival rate. This doesn't mean that survivors only live five more years. It simply means that the study followed participants for that long. Also, the concern about cancer recurring lessens after five years.
