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.
If the cancer has spread to a distant part of the body (stage IV), which is its latest stage, the five-year survival rate is 4%. Lung cancer makes up 13% of all cancer diagnoses and 27% of all cancer deaths.he one-year survival rate is the percentage of people who survive at least one year after the cancer is found. For all people with lung cancer, the one-year survival rate is 44%. The five-year survival rate is 17%. Survival rates depend on several factors, the subtype of lung cancer and the stage of disease.
