Cancer survival rates or survival statistics tell you the percentage of people who survive a certain type of cancer for a specific amount of time. Cancer statistics often use an overall five-year survival rate. For instance, the overall five-year survival rate for bladder cancer is 78 percent. That means that of all people who have bladder cancer, 78 of every 100 are living five years after diagnosis. Conversely, 22 out of every 100 are dead within five years of a bladder cancer diagnosis.
The relative survival rate measures the survival of patients with brain cancer in comparison to the general population to estimate the effect of cancer. The overall 5-year relative brain cancer survival rate for 1995-2001 was 33.3 percent.The 5-year relative survival rates for brain cancer by race and sex were as follows: 1  32.1 percent for Caucasian men. 2  33.5 percent for Caucasian women. 3  37.7 percent for African-American men. 4  37.5 percent for African-American women.he overall 5-year relative brain cancer survival rate for 1995-2001 was 33.3 percent.
