survival rates
Who makes it
Survival rates measure the proportion of people who remain alive after a specified period following diagnosis or treatment, typically expressed as percentages over five or ten years.
Medical contexts dominate: The five-year survival rate for early-stage breast cancer exceeds ninety percent.
Survival rates help patients and doctors assess prognosis and compare treatment options, though they reflect past outcomes and may not predict individual cases.
