1-year survival was lowest in lung cancer patients (7.5%) and highest among those who had cancers of the prostate (34.9%), breast (51.5%), or kidney (28.0%) and in those with multiple myeloma (63.7%) or NHL (52.5%). For most cancer types, survival was better in those with BM ...
Treatment for bone cancer depends on the type of cancer, the location of the tumor, and the stage of cancer. The main types of treatment include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. In some cases, a combination of one or more of these treatments may be recommended. Surgery Surgery ...
The ten-year, rather than the five-year survival rate for medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is 95.6 percent, meaning that a vast majority of MTC patients... Learn more about this topic: Thyroid Cancer: An Example of Malignant Neoplasia

Survival rates varied, depending on where tumors were located. Patients with axial tumors (i.e., in the spine, pelvis and trunk) were found to have worse survival outcomes when compared to patients with tumors in arms or legs. Dr. Nystrom said the likely reason is because in somepatients,...

PATIENTS AND METHODS: Of 436 patients, 218 patients were assigned to the test group and 218 patients to the validation group. Eight potential prognostic factors (age, performance status, number of involved vertebrae, ambulatory status, other bone metastases, visceral metastases, interval from cancer ...
Osteosarcoma is the most common bone malignancy, with the highest incidence in children and adolescents. Survival rate prediction is important for improving prognosis and planning therapy. However, there is still no prediction model with a high accuracy
Meaning In patients with prostate cancer, bone metastatic burden and metastasis location may be useful in predicting survival benefit from prostate RT. Abstract Importance Prostate radiotherapy (RT) improves survival in men with low-burden metastatic prostate cancer. However, owing to the dichotomized ...
