What is the survival rate of ampullary cancer?

Ampullary cancer is considered a life-limiting disease and survival rates decrease as the stage of disease increases. However, the five-year survival rate for people who undergo the Whipple procedure ranges from 20% to 61%. This means that up to 61 out of 100 people who had the Whipple procedure for ampullary cancer are still alive after five years. It’s important to note that survival rates are only estimates. They can’t tell you how you’ll respond to treatment or how long you’ll live. To learn more about survival rates for ampullary cancer, talk to your healthcare provider.
