Mother gives birth to the 'heaviest girl ever born in the world' weighing FIFTEEN pounds (the same as a 6-month-old) 1  Girl was born at a hospital in India, twice the weight of an average baby.  Surprised her mother Nandini, 19, and medics with her size and weight.
Survival Rates. 1  The five-year survival rate for colon cancer found at the local stage is 90%. 2  The five-year survival rate for colon cancer found at the regional stage is 70%. 3  The five-year survival rate for colon cancer found at the distant stage is 12 %.
I can't find statistics on survival rates without treatment, but I suspect that they are quite low. For lung cancer, there has only been a modest improval from 13% t0 16%. (Though earlier detection and treatment would probably help.) For colorectal cancer, the improvement was from about 51% to 67%.
