Ideas in this flowchart
- Five-year relative survival is closely linked to stage at diagnosis.
- Survival rates vary substantially across diagnosis stages.
- Stage I has approximately 91% five-year relative survival.
- Stage II has approximately 85% five-year relative survival.
- Stage III has approximately 73% five-year relative survival.
- Stage IV has around 13% five-year relative survival.
- The progression is a consequence of detection timing, not an inevitability.
- Screening could protect survival by detecting disease before additional stage boundaries are crossed.
