What is the survival rate once diagnosed with lung cancer? |
What is the survival rate once diagnosed with lung cancer? Survival rate depends directly on stage and type of cancer one is diagnosed with. Below are a couple of links with more information. If someone says that there is an "xyz" chance of surviving, it is not accurate information. One has to take the size of tumor, location, chances of removal, lymph node status, and histology (small vs non-small cell) into consideration before an accurate guesstimate can be made. And it is a guesstimate due to the fact that how one person responds to treatment can be very different than another. Hope this helps. Source(s): http://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/conten... http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/types... 5 year survival is a mere 5-15%. its estremely poor even with the best thereapy available i m a doc I suggest yout doctor There's a lot of information online...check out the American Cancer Society's website, they've probably got stats and all there... I'm not sure but I do know of a lung cancer survivor. She is my friend's grandmother and she smoked like a fiend, contracted lung cancer and lives a healthy, normal life today. *shrugs* Statistically, I can't say if she's a rare or common case. |
