What is the survival rate for advanced testicular cancer?
I wondered about the survival rate for advanced testicular cancer, too, since the survival rate for the disease overall is excellent. The American Cancer Society says that testicular cancer is one of the most curable forms of cancer, and their five-year survival rates seem to bear this out.
In the early stage, the five-year survival rate is 99 percent, and for all cases the rate is still 95 percent. The five-year survival rate for the advanced stage, of course, is the lowest. But even so, it's still around 71 percent. And the rates may actually be even better, since these statistics are based on patients who were diagnosed and treated over 5 years ago, and treatments may have improved the survivor rate for advanced testicular cancer in the meantime.
