Five-year survival rate

  •  ()

The five-year survival rate is a type of survival rate for estimating the prognosis of a particular disease, normally calculated from the point of diagnosis.[1] Lead time bias from earlier diagnosis can affect interpretation of the five-year survival rate.[2]

There are absolute and relative survival rates, but the latter are more useful and commonly used.
