    [3] [65] [66] IPF progression is associated with an estimated median survival time of 2 to 5 years following diagnosis. [1] [3] The 5-year survival for IPF ranges between 20 and 40%, [66] a mortality rate higher than that of a number of malignancies, including colon cancer, multiple myeloma and bladder cancer.

    MGUS is a relatively stable condition afflicting 3% of people aged 50 and 5% of people aged 70; it progresses to multiple myeloma at a rate of 0.5–1% cases per year; smoldering multiple myeloma does so at a rate of 10% per year for the first 5 years, but then falls off sharply to 3% per year for the next 5 years and thereafter to 1% per year.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_transplantation

    Since sirolimus is not administered until at least 3–12 months after transplant, these median survival estimates were conditional on surviving 1 year post-transplant. [34] As lung transplantation has improved since the late 20th century with advancements in perioperative management, surgical technique and postoperative rehabilitation, 5-year ...

    Despite its relative rarity compared to limb prosthesis, strides have been made over the decades, with notable milestones such as the first pacemaker surgery on a dog in 1968 and successful kidney transplants in cats since the mid-1980s. This field faces challenges, particularly in canine programs, due to issues related to immunosuppression.

  7. Lung allocation score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung_allocation_score

    The post-transplant survival measure is one-year survival after transplantation of the lungs. Factors used to predict it include FVC, ventilator use, age, creatinine, NYHA class and diagnosis. [3] It is used for calculation of transplant benefit by subtracting another variable called waitlist urgency measure from it. The final lung allocation ...

  8. Plasmacytoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmacytoma

    Most cases of SPB progress to multiple myeloma within 2–4 years of diagnosis, but the overall median survival for SPB is 7–12 years. 30–50% of extramedullary plasmacytoma cases progress to multiple myeloma with a median time of 1.5–2.5 years. 15–45% of SPB and 50–65% of extramedullary plasmacytoma are disease free after 10 years.

    A 10-year-old female beagle with oral cancer. Cancer is the leading cause of death in dogs. [1] It is estimated that 1 in 3 domestic dogs will develop cancer, which is the same incidence of cancer among humans. [2] Dogs can develop a variety of cancers and most are very similar to those found in humans.
