cancer survival
Beating the malignancy
Cancer survival refers to living after a cancer diagnosis, typically measured as the percentage of patients alive after a specified period—usually five years.
Doctors discuss survival rates, survival times, and survival odds.
A cancer survivor is someone who has had cancer and remains alive, whether in treatment, remission, or cured.
