Oral cancer has an overall 5 year survival rate of 65% in the United States as of 2015. [4] This varies from 84% if diagnosed when localized, compared to 66% if it has spread to the lymph nodes in the neck, and 39% if it has spread to distant parts of the body. [4] Survival rates also are dependent on the location of the disease in the mouth. [16]
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 prognosis for this pulmonary variant is more guarded than for salivary gland presentations, but remains considerably better than for conventional non-small cell lung cancer types. Five-year survival rates for primary pulmonary acinic cell carcinoma range from 56-67%, compared to approximately 25% for typical non-small cell lung cancer. [35]
