The five-year survival rate of lung cancer is between 5% and 90%, which is affected by the stage and type of pathology.
Five-year survival of lung cancer is also the probability of patients surviving for more than five years. If it is an early stage lung cancer patient, the cancer cells have not yet metastasized and spread to lymph nodes and distal organs, that is, if it undergoes surgery and other treatments, its survival five-year survival rate can reach more than 90%; if it is an intermediate stage patient, it will only be 60%, and the five-year survival rate of an advanced stage patient is only about 5%.
In addition, it is also related to the type of pathology, low-differentiated and undifferentiated lung cancer, with high degree of malignancy, high difficulty in curing, and even lower five-year survival rate; highly differentiated and moderately differentiated patients are a little bit less difficult to treat, and their survival rate and cure rate are both higher.
