As per reports, survival rates for various terminal forms of cancer have climbed unexpectedly but not much improvements has been recorded in terms of other widespread forms. In this regard, the cancer charity Macmillan has released its latest reports, wherein it has been claimed that the average projected time of survival for people confirmed with cancer has increased from nearly one year to almost six years over the last 40 years or so.
The latest reports released by Macmillan clearly highlight elephantine improvements in various aspects. For instance, people confirmed for colon cancer are now generally expected to survive for a decade. It has evidently marked immense improved when evaluated against a survival time or mere seven months in case they would have been confirmed for the terminal colon cancer some 40 years ago.
But still, it seems like there is an immense urgency for boosting the survival rates when it comes to various perilous forms of cancer, including pancreatic cancer, stomach cancers and lung cancer, which have shown negligible improvement regardless of 40 years of medical progression.
The report, which was formulated by Macmillan Cancer Support with the intent of estimating average survival rates for people following confirmations for different types of widespread cancer, studied data for people diagnosed with cancer and their respective survival rates during 1971 and 2001. Based on their observations, the researchers figured out average life expectancy for cancer patients in 2007.
In general, cancer survival rates are studied in form of percentage of people that will remain alive for a period of five or ten years following diagnosis. However, the latest report from Macmillan was based on historic data for predicting how long on people would live on an average once they are diagnosed for some form of terminal cancer.
