Relative survival rates for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC):Almost 90% of lung cancers are this type. The National Cancer Institute’s database breaks down the cancers by how far the tumors have spread. These relative survival rates are the average percentages of people who are alive 5 y...
These rates are mainly based on patients diagnosed between 1985 and 2004 and are representative of those patients according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). These data-based survival rates are what are available currently, but they are only estimates and are not predictive about what may hap...
into two main types: small-cell lung cancers (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC). This classification depends upon the microscopic appearance of the tumor cells themselves, specifically the size of the cells. These two types
The overall prognosis for lung cancer is poor when compared with some other cancers.Survival rates for lung cancer are generally lower than those for most cancers, with an overall five-year survival rate for lung cancer of about 17%compared to 65% forcolon cancer, 91% for breast cancer, 81...
Survival rates vary considerably according to the cancer type. The purpose of this study was to analyze long‐term survival trends for cancer types with the highest mortality among AYAs to determine where the greatest burden is and to identify areas for future research. Methods Using data from ...

There are several reasons for this, ranging from the types of breast cancer someone may have to theirsocial and economic status. These ca...
Could breast cancer survival rates be improved simply by timing treatment to a specific stage of the menstrual cycle? Mouse and human data suggest sensitivity to chemotherapy is affected by fluctuations in ovarian hormones. Wendy V. Ingman
Using the CORONA database, comprising 6234 patients treated with radical or partial nephrectomy, women had significantly better disease-specific (HR 0.75) and overall (HR 0.80) survival rates than their male counterparts.51 In a SEER-based study, Aaron et al. also reported a better overal...
