Survival rates give a good idea of what percentage of people with the same type and stage of cancer survive for a certain period of time (usually 5 years) after diagnosis. They may not tell you how long you have left to live, but above all they help you understand how likely your cure is to be successful.
Keep in mind that survival Wagers are considered estimates and are often based on the past performance of a large number of people who held a particular wager. cancer However, they are not likely to predict what will happen in a particular person’s case. These statistics can be confusing and may raise more questions. Your physician is a symbol of your medical history. Ask how these numbers are likely to relate to you.
This 5-year-old child is survival rate?
A relative survival Percent who associate with the same types of people and stage of cancer with people in general. For example, a 5-year-old’s relatives. survival Percentage of specific ones stage of colon or rectal cancer 80%, meaning those who have this cancer average, has about an 80% higher chance of having it than someone who does not have it. cancer survive at least 5 years after diagnosis.
Where did these numbers come from?
The American Cancer Society uses information from the SEER database* maintained by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to provide survival Various types of statistics of cancer .
The SEER database tracks data relative to a five-year period. survival rates for colon and rectal cancer in the U.S. This is determined based on how widespread the disease the cancer has spread. However, the SEER database is not clustered (i.e., it does not include the number of patients who have been diagnosed with a disease (e.g., the number of patients who have been diagnosed with a disease cancers by AJCC TNM stages ( stage 1, stage 2, stage 3 e.g. Д.). Instead, they are grouped cancers locally, regionally, and remotely. stages :
- Locally: no noticeable symptoms the cancer Spread beyond. the colon or rectum.
- Regional: The cancer has spread outside the colon or from the intestine to nearby structures or lymph nodes.
- Distant: The cancer Metastasized to distant parts of the body, such as the liver, non-tumors, or distant lymph nodes.
