Cancer was responsible for around *** deaths per 100,000 population in the United States in 2023. The death rate for cancer has steadily decreased since the 1990’s, but cancer still remains the second leading cause of death in the United States. The deadliest type of cancer for both men and women is cancer of the lung and bronchus which will account for an estimated ****** deaths among men alone in 2025. Probability of surviving Survival rates for cancer vary significantly depending on the type of cancer. The cancers with the highest rates of survival include cancers of the thyroid, prostate, and testis, with five-year survival rates as high as ** percent for thyroid cancer. The cancers with the lowest five-year survival rates include cancers of the pancreas, liver, and esophagus. Risk factors It is difficult to determine why one person develops cancer while another does not, but certain risk factors have been shown to increase a person’s chance of developing cancer. For example, cigarette smoking has been proven to increase the risk of developing various cancers. In fact, around ** percent of cancers of the lung, bronchus and trachea among adults aged 30 years and older can be attributed to cigarette smoking. Other modifiable risk factors for cancer include being obese, drinking alcohol, and sun exposure.

This statistic displays the five-year survival rate in children with diagnosed cancer, by selected locations, time periods, and type of cancer. In Australia, children with leukaemias had a five-year chance of survival of over 80 percent in the measured period 1997-2006. In comparison, Chinese children with leukaemias in Shanghai had a chance of little more than 50 percent to survive five years (measured in the period 2002-2005).

In the period 2014-2020, around 69 percent of cancer patients surveyed between 2014 and 2020 from all ethnic groups survived a period of at least 5 years after diagnosis. This statistic shows the 5-year relative cancer survival rates in the U.S., by ethnic group, in periods between 1975 and 2020.

Lung cancer is the number one cancer-related cause of death in Sweden and worldwide. In most countries, five-year survival estimates vary between 10% and 20% with evidence of improved survival over time. Over the last decades, the management of lung cancer has changed including the introduction of national guidelines, new diagnostic procedures and treatments. This study aimed to investigate temporal trends in lung cancer survival both overall and in subgroups defined by established prognostic factors (i.e., sex, stage, histopathology and smoking history). We estimated one-, two-, and five-year relative survival, and excess mortality, in patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the lung between 1995 and 2016 in Sweden. We used population-based information available in a national lung cancer research database (LCBaSe) generated by cross-linkage between the Swedish National Lung Cancer Register and several Swedish health and sociodemographic registers. We included 36,935 patients diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma of the lung between 1995 and 2016. The overall one-, two- and five-year survival estimates increased between 1995 and 2016, from 38% to 53%, 21% to 37%, and 14% to 24%, respectively. Over the study period, we also found improved survival in subgroups, for example in patients with stages III-IV disease, patients with adenocarcinoma, and never-smokers. The excess mortality decreased over the study period, both overall and in all subgroups. Lung cancer survival increased over time in the overall lung cancer population. Of special note was evidence of improved survival in patients with stage IV disease. Our results corroborate a previously observed global trend of improved survival in patients with lung cancer.

The graph presents prostate cancer relative survival rates in the U.S. from 2001 to 2016, showing 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year relative survival percentages based on age groups. The x-axis represents age groups, while the y-axis indicates survival rates at different time intervals. Survival rates remain high across all age groups, with patients aged 65–69 having the highest 10-year survival rate of 99.5%. In contrast, men aged 80 and older have the lowest survival rates, with 92.1% at 1 year and 82.7% at 10 years. The data highlights that younger patients generally experience better long-term survival outcomes.

BackgroundThe 5-year survival rate of cancer patients is the most commonly used statistic to reflect improvements in the war against cancer. This idea, however, was refuted based on an analysis showing that changes in 5-year survival over time bear no relationship with changes in cancer mortality.MethodsHere we show that progress in the fight against cancer can be evaluated by analyzing the association between 5-year survival rates and mortality rates normalized by the incidence (mortality over incidence, MOI). Changes in mortality rates are caused by improved clinical management as well as changing incidence rates, and since the latter can mask the effects of the former, it can also mask the correlation between survival and mortality rates. However, MOI is a more robust quantity and reflects improvements in cancer outcomes by overcoming the masking effect of changing incidence rates. Using population-based statistics for the US and the European Nordic countries, we determined the association of changes in 5-year survival rates and MOI.ResultsWe observed a strong correlation between changes in 5-year survival rates of cancer patients and changes in the MOI for all the countries tested. This finding demonstrates that there is no reason to assume that the improvements in 5-year survival rates are artificial. We obtained consistent results when examining the subset of cancer types whose incidence did not increase, suggesting that over-diagnosis does not obscure the results.ConclusionsWe have demonstrated, via the negative correlation between changes in 5-year survival rates and changes in MOI, that increases in 5-year survival rates reflect real improvements over time made in the clinical management of cancer. Furthermore, we found that increases in 5-year survival rates are not predominantly artificial byproducts of lead-time bias, as implied in the literature. The survival measure alone can therefore be used for a rough approximation of the amount of progress in the clinical management of cancer, but should ideally be used with other measures.

IntroductionLung cancer ranks the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. This retrospective cohort study was designed to determine time-dependent death hazards of diverse causes and conditional survival of lung cancer.MethodsWe collected 816,436 lung cancer cases during 2000-2015 in the SEER database, after exclusion, 612,100 cases were enrolled for data analyses. Cancer-specific survival, overall survival and dynamic death hazard were assessed in this study. Additionally, based on the FDA approval time of Nivolumab in 2015, we evaluated the effect of immunotherapy on metastatic patients’ survival by comparing cases in 2016-2018 (immunotherapy era, n=7135) and those in 2013-2016 (non-immunotherapy era, n=42061).ResultsOf the 612,100 patients, 285,705 were women, the mean (SD) age was 68.3 (11.0) years old. 252,558 patients were characterized as lung adenocarcinoma, 133,302 cases were lung squamous cell carcinoma, and only 78,700 cases were small cell lung carcinomas. TNM stage was I in 140,518 cases, II in 38,225 cases, III in 159,095 cases, and IV in 274,262 patients. 164,394 cases underwent surgical intervention. The 5-y overall survival and cancer-specific survival were 54.2% and 73.8%, respectively. The 5-y conditional survival rate of cancer-specific survival is improved in a time-dependent pattern, while conditional overall survival tends to be steady after 5-y follow-up. Except from age, hazard disparities of other risk factors (such as stage and surgery) diminished over time according to the conditional survival curves. After 8 years since diagnosis, mortality hazard from other causes became higher than that from lung cancer. This critical time point was earlier in elder patients while was postponed in patients with advanced stages. Moreover, both cancer-specific survival and overall survival of metastatic patients in immunotherapy era were significantly better than those in non-immunotherapy era (P

The five-year survival rate after being diagnosed with cancer in Russia has followed an upward trend over the period under observation. In 2023, almost 59 percent of cancer patients continued to be registered with an oncological establishment for at least five years after getting their diagnosis. Lip cancer had the highest five-year survival rate, at over 75 percent in that year.

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute collects and distributes high quality, comprehensive cancer data from a number of population-based cancer registries. Data include patient demographics, primary tumor site, morphology, stage at diagnosis, first course of treatment, and follow-up for vital status. The SEER Program is the only comprehensive source of population-based information in the United States that includes stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis and survival rates within each stage.

BackgroundThe 5-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer (PC) is incredibly low, resulting in this often being a fatal disease. Timely and accurate assessment of the survival rate and prognosis of patients with PC is of great significance for the development of new programs for prevention, monitoring, and treatment.MethodsPeriod analysis and further stratified analysis were used to determine the 5-year relative survival rate (RSR) of patients with PC from 2002 to 2016 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) project database of the National Cancer Institute. Based on this, a generalized linear model was created to predict the survival rate of patients from 2017 to 2021.ResultDuring 2002–2016, the 5-year RSR of patients with PC increased from 7.9 to 23.7%. The generalized linear model predicted that the survival rate had increased to 33.9% during 2017–2021, and hence, it was still unacceptably low. The survival rate of patients aged ≥75 years at diagnosis was the lowest among all age groups and was predicted to be only 21.4% during 2017–2021. Notably, the survival rate of patients with differentiation grade III at diagnosis remains particularly low at 7.6%.ConclusionThe survival rates of patients with PC, although slightly improved, remain extremely low. Timely assessment of the trend of survival rate changes in patients with PC further improves the prognosis of tumor patients and provides data support for relevant medical works to formulate effective tumor prevention and control policies.

ObjectiveAccessibility to quality healthcare, histopathology of tumor, tumor stage and geographical location influence survival rates. Comprehending the bases of these differences in cervical cancer survival rate, as well as the variables linked to poor prognosis, is critical to improving survival. We aimed to perform the first thorough meta-analysis and systematic review of cervical cancer survival times in Africa based on race, histopathology, geographical location and age.Methods and materialsMajor electronic databases were searched for articles published about cervical cancer survival rate in Africa. The eligible studies involved studies which reported 1-year, 3-year or 5-year overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and/or locoregional recurrence (LRR) rate of cervical cancer patients living in Africa. Two reviewers independently chose the studies and evaluated the quality of the selected publications, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA-P). We used random effects analysis to pooled the survival rate across studies and heterogeneity was explored via sub-group and meta-regression analyses. A leave-one-out sensitivity analysis was undertaken, as well as the reporting bias assessment. Our findings were reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA-P).ResultsA total of 16,122 women with cervical cancer were covered in the 45 articles (59 studies), with research sample sizes ranging from 22 to 1,059 (median = 187.5). The five-year overall survival (OS) rate was 40.9% (95% CI: 35.5–46.5%). The five-year OS rate ranged from 3.9% (95% CI: 1.9–8.0%) in Malawi to as high as 76.1% (95% CI: 66.3–83.7%) in Ghana. The five-year disease-free survival rate was 66.2% (95% CI: 44.2–82.8%) while the five-year locoregional rate survival was 57.0% (95% CI: 41.4–88.7%).ConclusionTo enhance cervical cancer survival, geographical and racial group health promotion measures, as well as prospective genetic investigations, are critically required.

ObjectiveConditional relative survival (CRS) rates, which take into account changes in prognosis over time, are useful estimates for survivors and their clinicians as they make medical and personal decisions. We aimed to present the 5-year relative conditional survival probabilities of patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer from 1997–2016.MethodsThis nationwide retrospective cohort study used data from the Korean Central Cancer Registry. Patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer between 1997 and 2016 were included. CRS rates were calculated stratified by age at diagnosis, cancer stage, histology, treatment received, year of diagnosis, and social deprivation index.ResultsThe 5-year relative survival rate at the time of diagnosis was 61.1% for all cases. The probability of surviving an additional 5 years, conditioned on having already survived 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years after diagnosis was 65.0, 69.5, 74.6, 79.3, and 83.9%, respectively. Patients with poorer initial survival estimates (older, distant stage, serous histology) generally showed the largest increases in CRS over time. The probability of death was highest in the first year after diagnosis (11.8%), and the conditional probability of death in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th years declined to 9.4%, 7.9%, 6.1%, and 5.2%, respectively.ConclusionCRS rates for patients with ovarian cancer increased with each year they survived, but this did not reach the level of ‘no excess mortality’ even 5 years after diagnosis. The largest improvements in CRS were observed in patients with poorer initial prognoses. Our findings provide updated prognosis to ovarian cancer survivors and clinicians.

IntroductionPediatric cancer survival is increasing over time in European countries. However, there are survival differences in survival between Eastern and Western European member countries. The available mortality data based on the Romanian National Statistics Institute reports to Eurostat place Romania among the European countries with the highest child cancer mortality rates. The current study aims to investigate pediatric cancer survival and mortality outcomes in Romania, using the Romanian national-level cancer registry data. The Registry results add to the literature to illustrate the profile of pediatric cancers in Eastern Europe.MethodsThe study included 4,144 cancer patients aged 0–19 years, whose data were collected in the Romanian National Pediatric Oncology and Hematology Registry. These data comprise all the new cases diagnosed in Romanian pediatric cancer facilities from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2019. Survival probabilities were examined according to patient characteristics, such as tumor type, demography, geography and place of residence. The Chi-square test (Fisher Exact Test) was used to compare patients' personal and clinical characteristics by rural/urban designation. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals by rural/urban designation, economic development region, and selected cancer subtypes, according to the International Classification of Childhood Cancer, 3rd edition. The mean follow-up time was 6.09 ± 3.84 years. To calculate the 5-year survival rates, the study period ended on December 31, 2017, and the sample size was restricted to 3,308. A predictive model using multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the age group and rural-urban survival probabilities as well as survival probabilities for major cancer subtypes.ResultsThe 5-year overall survival probability for the 0–14 and 15–19 age groups was 73% (95% CI: 71, 75) and 69% (65%, 72%) respectively. Categorized further by smaller age groups for the 0–14 age group, the survival rates were 75% (0–4 years), 73% (5–9 years) and 69% (10–14 years). Hodgkin lymphoma (92%), nephroblastoma and other nonepithelial renal tumors (89 %), and lymphoid leukemias (80%) had the highest survival rates among all the seven major cancer subtypes in the 0–14 years population. The worst survival was observed for CNS tumors (62%), rhabdomyosarcoma (62%), neuroblastoma (67%), and bone tumors (52%). As compared to pediatric cancer patients residing in urban areas, significantly more rural patients died from cancer (32.6% vs. 22.4%, p < 0.0001).Discussion/conclusionThis is Romania's first pediatric cancer survival study based on well-validated national cancer registry data. The Romanian Pediatric Cancer Registry continues to shed light on the profile of pediatric cancers in Romania. Overall survival rates in Romania were lower than survival rates reported from the EU-15 countries. Rural patients had lower survival than urban patients. Future studies should investigate the relationship between patients' clinical and socioeconomic characteristics and survival outcomes. Further research is also needed to investigate recurrence and secondary malignancies among this population.
