What is the appendix cancer survival rate?

The five-year survival rate for low-grade appendix cancer is 67% to 97%. That means that 67% to 97% of people diagnosed with the disease are still alive five years later. However, the five-year survival rate for aggressive tumors can be much lower.

Keep in mind that survival rates can’t tell you how you’ll respond to treatment or how long you’ll live. These numbers represent the experiences of people who’ve been diagnosed with appendix cancer in the past. Because appendix cancer is a rare disease, survival rates for this type of cancer may not be precise. If you have questions about survival rates, talk to your healthcare provider.
