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 5-year survival rate for cancers that are still in the area where they started is about 83%. The 5-year survival rate for cancers that have spread to nearby lymph nodes is about 59%. The 5-year survival rate for cancers that have spread to distant parts of the body is about 36%.f the 5-year survival rate for a particular cancer stage is 80%, it is most likely that given 100 people with that particular cancer stage, 80 will be alive at 5 years.
