Survival with Cancer

The survival analyses of patients with cancer were produced by the Tumor Registry Section of the Department of Medical Informatics at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Patients newly registered at that institution during the years 1987-1993 were identified for analysis by the Medical Informatics database. The survival analyses were limited to patients from Texas who had histologically confirmed cancer diagnoses. The analyses included all identified patients regardless of where they received treatment or whether they had been treated prior to examination at M. D. Anderson.

The three stages of disease shown in each of the following graphs are local, regional, and distant. These refer to the location and spread of cancer in the body. Local disease means that one tumor has been identified in one place. Regional disease refers to additional growth or more tumors in the same general area of the body. Distant disease is cancer that has spread to other parts of the body unrelated to the area where the first tumor was found.
