What are the survival rates for different cancers?
Survival rates for cancer have been improving due to advances in early detection, treatment, and supportive care. For instance, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer has risen to nearly 90%, while prostate cancer has a five-year survival rate of almost 98%. Conversely, cancers like pancreatic cancer and liver cancer still have relatively low survival rates, often because they are diagnosed at a later stage.
