The American Cancer Society reports 5-year relative survival rates of over 70% for women with stage 0-III breast cancer with a 5-year relative survival rate close to 100% for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer. The 5-year relative survival rate drops to 22% for women with stage IV ( metastatic) breast cancer. [3]

DR. GAUDET: 100%. You know, the lung nodules that are found on screening, the screening process has decreased, or improved the survival rate of, of, lung cancers by over 20%. REBECCA THOMAS: All ...
Many women were left out of some large lung cancer studies, and before 1993, most testing for clinical trials also omitted women. Research has found that lung cancer diagnoses have risen 84% in ...

[4] Prognosis is better for people with lung cancer diagnosed at an earlier stage; those diagnosed at the earliest TNM stage, IA1 (small tumor, no spread), have a ...
