We help patients, physicians, and family members by providing cancer survival rates for 30 types of cancer at our site:
How it Works
What is the survival rate?
The percentage of people surviving for the selected period of time. The default time period is 5 years and survival rates for 1, 2, or 10 years are also available. The numbers are from past cases of other patients with the specified cancer type.
What are survival scenarios?
Survival scenarios show different scenarios for survival using past cases. For later stage cancers, we display ranges for best, typical, and worst case scenarios.
Can I customize?
Yes, you can input sex, age, and diagnosis date, which are all factors that affect survival rates.
What about cancer stage and grade?
Select the stage and/or grade using the buttons. Users who aren't sure can try different values to see impact on survival rates. Either way, users should confirm stage and/or grade with their physician.
