Two out of 3 people diagnosed with cancer survive five years or more, according to a CDC study published in today’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
The report found that the most common cancer sites continue to be cancers of the
prostate (128 cases per 100,000 men),
female breast (122 cases per 100,000 women),
lung and bronchus (61 cases per 100,000 persons),
and colon and rectum (40 cases per 100,000 persons).
Among these common cancer sites, 5-year relative survival was 97 percent for prostate cancer, 88 percent for breast cancer, 63 percent for colorectal cancer, and 18 percent for lung cancer.
“We are pleased to include cancer survivor data in this report for the first time. We will review these data annually to track our progress,” said Jane Henley, epidemiologist in CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control and lead author of the study.
