People with prostate cancer that's localized to the prostate or just nearby have a high long-term survival rate. Their 5-year relative survival rate is 99%, which means they're nearly as likely as someone without prostate to survive for 5 years. Stage IV prostate cancer survival rate Those...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...

—This analysis suggests that in an equal-access medical care system there are no stage-specific differences in treatment between black and white prostate cancer patients. Survival among blacks is similar to that among whites and may surpass it for high-stage disease.(JAMA. 1995;274:1599-1605)...
