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.
In a second single institutional series of 400 patients with stages I through IVb tonsillar cancer, of whom 140 underwent planned neck dissection (130 unilateral, 10 bilateral), the five year local control rates for T1-T4 disease were 83, 81, 74, and 60 percent The five-year cause-specific survival rates by stage were:tage I 65 percent Stage II 54 percent Stage III 44 percent Stage IV 30 percent. For patients with stage I and II cancers, survival rates appeared to be highest for patients treated with surgery alone, followed by surgery plus radiotherapy, and finally radiotherapy alone (75, 63, and 46 percent, respectively).
