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.
Colorectal cancer is divided into four stages, with Stage 4 having the worst prognosis (outlook). The five year survival rates (the percentage of people surviving the disease for 5 years after treatment), listed by stage, are as follows: Stage 1- 74% (and often higher if there are favorable features) Stage 2- 37% to 67%. Stage 3- 30% to 50%.
