Localized(cancer is confined to one lung): 60% Regional(cancer has spread outside the lung or tolymph nodes): 33% Distant(cancer has moved farther, such as to the brain, the other lung, and bones): 6% All stages:23% Relative survival rates for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC):This is...
While the majority of lung cancers are associated with tobacco smoking, the fact that not all smokers eventually develop lung cancer suggests that other factors, such as individual genetic susceptibility, may play a role in the causation of lung cancer. Numerous studies have shown that lung cancer...

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 ...
Explain why cancer can be difficult to treat. After all the years of research, why don't we have a viable cure for all cancers? What are the survival rates of different types of cancer? What are examples of some carcinogens and what cancers can they lead to? How much do environmental ...
Survival rates for adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer have varied considerably depending on cancer type. A new study indicates that survival for multiple cancer types in such patients has improved in recent years, but some patients diagnosed with common cancer types still show limited...
Combining tobacco and asbestos exposure significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer, but not mesothelioma. About 63% of patients diagnosed with localized lung cancer live 5 years or more. Conversely, the 5-year survival is 7% for lung cancer patients with late-stage or distant ...
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...
We studied the incidence and survival rates for the histological subtypes of non-small-cell lung cancer, using data from the Eindhoven Cancer Registry over the period 1975-94. The proportions with adenocarcinoma and large-cell undifferentiated carcinoma
