Q. What is the percentage of uterine cancer survival?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
The 5-year survival rate for uterine cancer is about 74%. However, the rates vary depending on the stage of the cancer when it is diagnosed. For example, the 5-year survival rate for women with stage I uterine cancer is about 92%, while the 5-year survival rate for those with stage IV disease is about 18%.
Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to this question as it can depend on a number of factors unique to each individual case. However, the American Cancer Society provides the following information on uterine cancer survival rates:
"The 5-year relative survival rate for uterine cancer is about 73%. This means that about 73 out of 100 women who have uterine cancer will still be alive 5 years after being diagnosed. Survival rates are lower for women who are diagnosed at a later stage. For example, the 5-year relative survival rate for women with Stage IV uterine cancer is around 37%."
