The survival rate among those with lung cancer has improved by more than a quarter in the last five years, according to a new report. The findings from the American Lung Association’s latest ...
In cancer types with high survival rates, incidence is usually higher in the developed world, where longevity is also greater. Cancers with lower survival rates are more common in developing countries. [6] The highest cancer survival rates are in countries such as South Korea, Japan, Israel, Australia, and the United States.

Average five-year survival rate for lung cancer patients is 25% because only 21% of lung cancers get diagnosed in early stage. How that could change
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.
This is a list of countries by cancer rate, as measured variously by the number of new cancer cases (frequency), or death rate (mortality), per 100,000 population among countries, and dependencies. Rates of cancer
The American Cancer Society’s Cancer Statistics, 2025 report found that the death rate due to cancer decreased by 34% from 1991 to 2022 in the U.S., due to declines in the four most common types ...
The survival rates for stages I through IV decrease significantly due to the advancement of the disease. For stage I, the five-year survival rate is 47%, stage II is 30%, stage III is 10%, and stage IV is 1%. [34]
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.
