Cancer Survival Statistics
Cancer survival statistics are typically
expressed as the proportion of patients alive at some point subsequent
to the diagnosis of their cancer. Relative survival is an estimate
of the percentage of patients who would be expected to survive
the effects of their cancer. Observed survival is the actual percentage
of patients still alive at some specified time after diagnosis of
cancer. Survival considers deaths from all causes, cancer or otherwise.
