Colorectal carcinoma/prognosis
From WikiLectures
The 5-year survival of individuals with colorectal carcinoma varies according to the stage at which the disease is detected. [1]
| Stage | Five years of 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 difficulties lasting three (40%) or seven (25%) months at the time of diagnosis. Prevention and screening are therefore important in this disease.
