Cancer survival rates or survival statistics tell you the percentage of people who survive a certain type of cancer for a specific amount of time. Cancer statistics often use an overall five-year survival rate. For instance, the overall five-year survival rate for bladder cancer is 78 percent. That means that of all people who have bladder cancer, 78 of every 100 are living five years after diagnosis. Conversely, 22 out of every 100 are dead within five years of a bladder cancer diagnosis.
Survival rates show the percentage of people with a certain type and stage of cancer who survive the disease for a certain period of time after they are diagnosed. A 5-year survival rate is the percentage of people who are alive 5 years after they are diagnosed.These are the people it includes:he 5-year survival rate for stage IIIA breast cancer is 72 percent. Stage IIIA means the tumor has spread to lymph nodes, but not to distant sites. The 5-year survival rate for stage IV breast cancer is 22 percent. Stage IV means the cancer has spread to other organs.
