The five-year survival of individuals with KR-CA varies according to the stage at which the disease is detected. [1]
| Stage | Five-year survival |
|---|---|
| St. 0 and 1 | 80-90% |
| St. 2 | 60-80% |
| St. 3 | 50-60% |
| St. 4 | 4-10% |
In general, there is a much greater chance of five-year survival in individuals who are asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis (90%) compared to individuals who have had problems lasting three (40%) or seven (25%) months at the time of diagnosis .[1] Prevention and screening program are therefore important in this disease.
