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.
Presumably, the improvement is a result of improved treatment. Of course, prior to the 1970s, people were also receiving treatment, so survival rates for people without any treatment might be lower, perhaps significantly so. For prostrate cancer, 5-year survival with treatment is nearly 100%, up from 67% in the 1970s.
