What is the adenocarcinoma survival rate?

Survival rates depend on the specific type of adenocarcinoma, its stage and location. Keep in mind that survival rates are estimates that are based on previous outcomes of other people. They can’t predict what will happen in your specific case, but they can give you a better understanding of treatment success.

A relative survival rate compares people with the same type and stage of cancer to the general population. It shows whether the disease shortens life. The five-year relative survival rate is a measure of how many people are still alive five years after receiving a diagnosis or after treatment begins. These percentages are based on research in the United States:

  • Prostate: More than 99% of people are alive five years later.
  • Breast: 90% of people are alive five years later.
  • Colorectal: 90% of people are alive five years later.
  • Pancreatic: 10% of people are alive five years later.
  • Lung: 56% of people are alive five years later.
  • Esophageal: 47% of people are alive five years later.
  • Stomach: 32% of people are alive five years later.
