The five year survival rate with existing therapies is currently less than 20%. The expected five year survival rate for all patients combined in whom lung cancer is diagnosed is 15 percent and by contrast, the five year survival rate for cases detected when the disease is still localized is 50 percent. The five year survival rate is 94% for patients diagnosed with early stage, or noninvasive cancer, while patients with metastatic or advanced stages of the disease have as low as a 6% chance of surviving five years. |
