Survival Stats
Oct 1 2008, 9:35 AM EDT
The survival stats on this page seem very outdated. I'm not sure where they came from. For example, in Stage III it says the 5-year survival rate is about 36%. According to many other available sources and the American Cancer Society, the 5-year survival rate for Stage III is more like 57%. That's quite a difference! Plus, the survival stats that are available are several years old and do not include many of the newer treatments being offered. Just some food for thought.
