Mortality rates for lung cancer? |
Can anyone help me with some charts and tables that show mortality rates for lung cancer through various years? Here are some links to charts years ago if you had lung cancer that was it always terminal,but these days they can do a lot to halt the cancers progress.i have met several people with it who are leading near normal lives. The rather exhaustive answer above didn't mention the TYPE of cancer. Small-cell, non-small-cell, etc. That also has a BIG effect on prognosis. Despite advances in treatment, the prognosis remains poor, with only 15% of patients surviving > 5 yr from time of diagnosis. For patients with stage IV (metastatic) disease, the 5-yr overall survival rate is < 1%. Improving survival requires focusing attention on smoking cessation, early detection, and research into the genetic profile of lung tumors and developing novel forms of therapy. (Merck) |
