Doctors often use mean overall survival rates to estimate the patient's prognosis. This is often expressed over standard time periods, like one, five, and ten years. For example, prostate cancer has a much higher one-year overall survival rate than pancreatic cancer , and thus has a better prognosis.
However, survival rates are currently often measured in terms of 5-year survival rates, which is the percentage of people who live at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer, and relative survival rates compare people with cancer to people in the overall population. [3]
In the United States during 2013–2017, the age-adjusted mortality rate for all types of cancer was 189.5/100,000 for males, and 135.7/100,000 for females. [1] Below is an incomplete list of age-adjusted mortality rates for different types of cancer in the United States from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program.

The median progression-free survival was 3.9 months versus 2.0 months. The overall response rate was 25% versus 7%, and the disease control rate was 63% compared to 47% in the CM24 combo arm vs ...
Human infectious diseases may be characterized by their case fatality rate (CFR), the proportion of people diagnosed with a disease who die from it (cf. mortality rate).It should not be confused with the infection fatality rate (IFR), the estimated proportion of people infected by a disease-causing agent, including asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections, who die from the disease.
Lynparza patients had a 79.6% IDFS rate at six years, compared to 70.3% for placebo patients, with the drug reducing the risk of invasive breast cancer recurrence, second cancers, or death by 35%.
The 5-year observed survival rate refers to the percentage of patients who live at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer. Many of these patients live ...
