While the 5-year survival rate for local and regional prostate cancer is nearly 100%, it decreases dramatically for advanced tumours. Accessibility to health care is an important factor for cancer prognosis. The U.S. Military Health System (MHS) provides universal health care to its beneficiaries...
Localized prostate cancer survival rate.Some92% of all prostate cancers are found when they're in the early stage, called local or regional. "Local" means there's no indication that cancer has spread beyond the prostate. "Regional" means it's spread (metastasized) to nearbylymph nodesor othe...
Cancer survival ratesoften use a 5-year survival rate, although 1-year and 10-year rates are also used. Survival rates of interest are cancer type, stage, and treatment groups, for a multitude of survival outcomes, including death, recurrence, and/or new symptoms. Although certain cancers can...
Long-term survival rates for patients with advanced prostate cancer suggest they can be good candidates for surgery, Mayo Clinic researchers have found. Their study found a 20-year survival rate for 80 percent of patients diagnosed with cancer that has potentially spread beyond the prostate, known ...
Stage III This is when the cancer has spread locally. There are two stages of this type of cancer: Stage IIIA (3A): The cancer has spread to the fat and nearby reproductive organs, including the prostate and vagina, but not to lymph nodes; or it has spread to a lymph node that is ...
Radiation therapy: 5-yr survival rate is between 6% and 20%. • Chemotherapy: Simple agent response rate 15% to 38%; combination response rate 80%. • Combined modality: 18% response rate. • Patients with stage IV disease receive palliative chemotherapy with a median survival of less ...
The five-year survival rate is about 34 percent if cancer is limited to the pancreas. 12 percent if cancer has spread to the nearby tissues or lymph nodes. 3 percent if cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Many organizations exist to help provide information and support for patien...
The stage of cancer is a measure of the extent to which cancer has spread in the body. Staging involves the evaluation of cancer's size and its penetration into surrounding tissue as well as the presence or absence of metastases in the lymph nodes or other organs. Staging is important for...

Inclusion Criteria Patients included in the current analysis were those diag- nosed in 1997 with a first primary prostate cancer (ICD- O-2: C61.9; Behavior = 3; sequence number 00 or 01), diagnosed at a clinically localized stage. Since the deter- mination of pathologic staging requires ...
