What is the survival rate for stomach cancer?

Answer 1

Of all those people diagnosed with cancer of the gallbladder fewer than 1 in 20 people (5%) will be alive 5 years later. Stage 0 and 1 If you have such an early stage of cancer of the gallbladder, you are most likely to have a simple cholecystectomy. About 60 out of every 100 people (60%) diagnosed with stage 0 disease and 50 out of every 100 people (50%) diagnosed with stage 1 gallbladder cancer will live for at least 5 years after this operation. Some surgeons believe that taking out nearby lymph nodes and some liver tissue during the operation helps stop the cancer returning. They believe this will improve the long term outcome for people with stage 1 gallbladder cancer. This operation is called an extended cholecystectomy. In some countries (such as Japan, where incidence rates for gallbladder cancer are higher than the UK or USA) this operation is standard treatment for stage 1 gallbladder cancer. The 5 year survival rates for stage 1 gallbladder cancer are better in Japan. Between 70 and 80 out of every 100 people (70 - 80%) diagnosed with stage 1 gallbladder cancer in Japan will survive 5 years or longer after an extended cholecystectomy. Stage 2 Fewer than 20 out of every 100 people (20%) will survive 5 years or longer with stage 2 gallbladder cancer . If you have an extended cholecystectomy or more extensive surgery, then you may have a slightly better chance than this. Stage 3 As you might expect, the survival statistics fall as the stage of gallbladder cancer goes up. About 5 out of every 100 people (5%) diagnosed with stage 3 gallbladder cancer live for at least 5 years. For people whose cancer is too far advanced for surgery when they are diagnosed, the average survival time is about 6 months but some may live for up to 2 years. Stage 4 Unfortunately most people diagnosed have stage 4 gallbladder cancer, so their cancer has already spread. Understandably, the survival statistics are lower than for stage 3 gallbladder cancers. Doctors generally think a patient is doing very well if they are still alive 2 years after being diagnosed with gallbladder cancer that has spread. Fewer than 2 out of every 100 people (2%) diagnosed with stage 4 gallbladder cancer live for 5 years or more. How reliable are cancer statistics? No statistics can tell you what will happen to you. Your cancer is unique. The same type of cancer can grow at different rates in different people for example. The statistics are not detailed enough to tell you about the different treatments people may have had. And how that treatment may have affected their prognosis. There are many individual factors that will determine your treatment and prognosis.

"Survival Rates for Cancer" basics

There are many factors when it comes to "Survival rates for cancer". At what stage was the cancer discovered? For example mammograms are used as a preventative measure against Breast cancer. Older men are routinely screened for PSA in their blood as a way of early detection of prostate cancer. Other cancers are harder to detect, such as lung cancer, ovarian cancer to name a few. Good screening practices are in development for these cancers as well as many others. Early detection generally means a better survival rate for most cancers-not all of them though. Another factor is age, children's survival rates on average for cancer-in general, are as high as 80%. Older and elderly people have a higher mortality rate in comparison. Another factor is if the cancer is discovered, how big is it? Has is grown quickly? Has it spread to other areas of the body? All of that will affect survial rates for cancer. Survival rates vary widely around the world and vary depending on the prevelance of a specific type of cancer in a specific country. For example, cervival cancer is the number one cancer for women in Morroco, which is not the case in the United States-which also happens to have pap smears as a standard form of a woman's gynecological exam, and are excellent for early detection of extrodinarily early abnormal cervical cancerous cells which can be treated. I would hazard a guess, based on the statistics that that is not the case for women in Morroco-to make sure, I would go to the World Health Organization's web site for the most current statistics.

Answer 3

According to the American Cancer Society, for all stages of pancreatic cancer combined, the one-year relative survival rate is 20% and the five-year rate is 4%. These low survival rates are attributable to the fact that fewer than 10% of patients' tumors are confined to the pancreas alone at the time of diagnosis. In most cases, the malignancy has already progressed to the point where surgical removal is impossible.

Answer 4

If we take a look at all pancreatic cancers, one-year survival rate is about 20%. The five-year rate drops to about 5%. These dismal figures are probably due to the fact that about 9 out of 10 patients have a tumor or tumors in other places as well as the pancreas when they are diagnosed. Very often it is seen that malignancy is extensive and outside surgical intervention. Should resection be done, a patient might expect to survive for one and a half to two years. The five-year rate rises to about 10%. It may get into the 20% to 25% range if complete removal of the tumor is accomplished, provided the lymph nodes are free of invasion. The American Cancer Society generally has data (including statistics) for the different types of cancer. A link to their posting on pancreatic cancer can be found below.

Answer 5

The cancer industry as practiced by Western medicine is corrupted by money powers who historically have influenced medical training and the funding of science to insure their monopoly control. The system has been so structured to prevent competition with existing money making drugs and treatment methods.

Because of this medical mafia, health freedom in many Western societies is gone. The survival rate is largely that of this conventional type of medicine that has been characterized accurately as cutting (surgery), burning (radiation), and poisoning (use of patentable pharmaceutical drugs). The statistics for 5 year survival is very nearly zero for conventional cancer therapies because the underlying cause of the disease which usually is a poorly balanced diet, and genetic susceptibility to environmental toxins is rarely if ever addressed.

Dr. Ralph Moss exposed the Rockefeller controlled Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for having covered up many successful double blind studies conducted on Laetrile / Amygdalin.

Electro-medicine can be used to treat cancer. Its use is instantly, unscientifically dismissed as quackery and nostrums by mainstream / Rockefeller-supported scientists, and medical practitioners who see this as a huge threat to business as usual since it would otherwise successfully compete with many of their ineffective, and prohibitively expensive chronic treatments of various diseases.

According to an on-line acquaintance of mine, wood pulp run paper mill owners bribed congressmen to license, then ban the growth of hemp / cannabis in 1937 while up until that time hemp was one of the largest cash crops in America where paper, cloth, rope, and medicines were made from the natural substance that could not be patented. The properties of THC, and cannabinoids now being studied must now be conducted in Europe due to "new world order" laws made by corrupt money powers supporting the phony war on drugs that spends 90% of its funds incarcerating non-violent marijuana possession and dealing cases in America, Canada, and the UK.

The AMA, FDA and other government departments create and enforce laws that foster the growth and monopoly of the corrupt money powers in the world by stifling new, competing medical treatments that would threaten planned and implemented money schemes.

Mainstream medicine and alternative medicine camps agree that overall health is improved with good diet. The arguments come when deciding what items to include in a good diet.

The money powers had taken partial control of mainstream media since around the time of WW1 when in 1917 Texas Congressman Oscar Callaway entered into the record that 25 of the most influential newspapers had been taken over by J.P. Morgan, and other powerful industrial and banking interests to generally control the editorial policy to be able to steer the opinions of the public the the aims and desires of the tycoons. The tycoons did this in 1915 so that they could get the USA into WW1 to both make wartime armament sales and to make huge international banking loans to both sides of the war with the explicit understanding that the winner would pay the debts of the loser.

In modern times there is practically a monopoly control of the mainstream media where only about 8 corporations own all of the major TV, newspaper, and radio stations in the USA. This makes the chances of learning about any contrary medical or science information very slim.

Every major war in the last 100 years has been enticed by trickery of the money powers in order to make more money. In recent times, a quiet disclosure was made by a Vietnam War cabinet member.

An extract From "The Fog of War". An interview with Robert S McNamara who was Secretary of Defense during the Kennedy and Johnson presidencies during the Vietnam war has it that the Gulf of Tonkin incident that kicked off full scale war efforts during the Vietnam war never actually happened. It was a mistake of sonar operators who were seeing water temperature anomalies and thinking that they were torpedo attacks, all of which somehow managed to miss their battle ship.
