Survival Rate
The number of women who survive breast cancer for at least 10 years has almost doubled since the 1970's, a new analysis has found, and many other cancers show that level of improvement as well. Less than 40 percent of women with breast cancer diagnosed in the early 1970s lived for ten years, while that number is now 77 percent. The survival rate for ovarian cancer has also doubled, as bowel cancer and lymphoma.
