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?
Percentage of people surviving for the selected period of time. The default time period is 5 years; survival rates for 1, 2, or 5 years are available. The numbers are from past cases of other patients with specified cancer type.
How many people survive?
Grey shaded hearts represent the number of survivors out of 10 people that will live to or beyond the time period selected 1, 2, or 5 years. Survival is cause-specific to cancer type.
Can I customize?
Yes - Input sex, age, and diagnosis date- all factors that affect survival rates
What about cancer stage and grade?
Enter stage and/or grade using 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 physician.
