What is the survival rate for clear cell renal cell carcinoma?
As many as 7 in 10 people with small ccRCC tumors are alive five years after the initial diagnosis. Treatment is less effective on large tumors or metastatic cancer. In those cases, five-year survival rates may drop to about 1 in 10. A cancer prognosis depends on many factors, including:
- Cancer spread.
- Effectiveness of treatments.
- Location, size and number of tumors (cancer stage).
