Statistics for overall 5-year survival rate for patients with primary bone cancer?
80% survival rate in adults, 75% in children
Which breast cancer patients have the worst chance for survival?
Persons who have cancerous spread to other distant places within the body (metastases) have stage IV cancer and the worst prognosis (potential for survival).
Which breast cancer patients have the best chance for survival?
The breast cancer survival rate varies greatly on the patient and their response to treatment. Breast cancer survival rates for early detection are 100%. Stage 2 breast cancer has a survival rate of 93 percent, the stage 3 survival rate is 72 percent, and the stage 4 survival rate is 22 percent.

What are the survival rates for medullary thyroid cancer?
Eighty percent of patients with medullary thyroid cancer will live for at least 10 years after surgery.
What are the survival rates for thyroid cancer?
Thyroid cancer is generally associated with very high survival rates. The prognosis for thyroid cancer is often favorable, with the majority of patients surviving the disease. Survival rates can vary depending on the specific type and stage of thyroid cancer. Here are some general survival rate statistics: Papillary Thyroid Cancer: Papillary thyroid cancer, the most common type, has a high survival rate. The 5-year relative survival rate for localized papillary thyroid cancer is approximately 99%, meaning that almost all patients with localized disease are alive 5 years after diagnosis. Even for regional (spread to nearby lymph nodes) or distant (metastatic) disease, the 5-year survival rate remains relatively high at around 93%. Follicular Thyroid Cancer: Follicular thyroid cancer also has favorable survival rates. The 5-year relative survival rate for localized disease is approximately 97%. For regional disease, it's about 86%, and for distant disease, it's around 67%. Medullary Thyroid Cancer: Medullary thyroid cancer has slightly lower survival rates compared to papillary and follicular types. For localized disease, the 5-year relative survival rate is around 98%. For regional disease, it's about 89%, and for distant disease, it drops to approximately 41%. Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer: Anaplastic thyroid cancer is the most aggressive form of thyroid cancer, and survival rates are much lower. The 5-year relative survival rate for this type is generally less than 10%, and many cases are fatal.
Bladder cancer survival rate?
When tumors are in the early stages and have not grown into the bladder wall, they can usually be removed by an outpatient surgical procedure. The five-year survival rate for patients with early stage bladder cancer is 85%. Fortunately, most patients with bladder cancer (up to 80%) will be diagnosed with a superficial tumor. If a tumor has grown into the wall of the bladder but has not spread to other organs, treatment usually involves surgical removal of the tumor, or combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy, with a five-year survival rate of 60%-75%. In more advanced cases, with spread of the cancer to other sites in the body, more aggressive treatment plans must be considered. Per: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=47973
How does Irinotecan affect the survival of colon cancer patients?
Irinotecan does not seem to increase toxicity but it improved response rates to 39%, added two to three months to disease-free survival, and prolonged overall survival by a little over two months.
Do people live through melanoma?
If it is caught in it's early stages, then the skin cancer may be removed. If it is removed before it spreads or metastasizes, then your chances of survival are good. Be sure to get screening done regularly, especially if you have had any type of cancer before or aif you have a family history of cancer.
