    Cancer survival rates vary by the type of cancer, stage at diagnosis, treatment given and many other factors, including country. In general survival rates are improving, although more so for some cancers than others. Survival rate can be measured in several ways, median life expectancy having advantages over others in terms of meaning for ...

    median overall survival time of approximately 12–16 months, with five-year survival rate of approximately 26% and the long-term survival rate of approximately 4 - 5%.

    Primary signet-ring cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder is extremely rare and patient survival is very poor and occurs mainly in men ages 38 to 83. However, one such patient treated with a radical cystectomy followed by combined S-1 and Cisplatin adjuvant chemotherapy did demonstrate promising long-term survival of 90 months.

  7. Hepatocellular carcinoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatocellular_carcinoma

    Surgical removal of the tumor is associated with better cancer prognosis, but only 5–15% of patients are suitable for surgical resection due to the extent of disease or poor liver function. [58] Surgery is only considered if the entire tumor can be safely removed while preserving sufficient functional liver to maintain normal physiology.

  8. Five-year survival rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-year_survival_rate

    Five-year survival rates can be used to compare the effectiveness of treatments. Use of five-year survival statistics is more useful in aggressive diseases that have a shorter life expectancy following diagnosis, such as lung cancer, and less useful in cases with a long life expectancy, such as prostate cancer.
