Quality of Care
What Are Your Survival Rates?
A center’s five-year survival rates can offer one indicator of the quality of cancer care that a center provides. This figure reflects the percentage of patients still living five years after diagnosis for various types of cancer and at different stages of spread when diagnosed. Your doctor will be happy to discuss this information with you in more detail – please keep in mind that cancer survival rates are not predictors of how an individual patient will do but rather a general indicator of outcome for a group of patients who received their treatment at that center.
