What are the statistics for appendix cancer survival?
What is the prognosis for patients diagnosed with appendiceal cancer?
Many factors contribute to the prognosis and long term survival rates. These factors may include pathology, staging at the time of diagnosis, overall health of the patient at the time of the diagnosis, age at the time of diagnosis, access to specialized care, etc.
In general, prognosis and long term survival have improved during the past decade, with earlier detection,
enhanced education of healthcare providers, including radiologists and pathologists,
followed by referrals to specialistsin the treatment of appendiceal cancer, and improved methods of treatment.
Long term survival may increase with early and accurate diagnosis, overall health of the patient at the time of diagnosis, the actual pathology/diagnosis itself, and appropriate treatment provided by a specialist.
Patients are reminded not to accept the original dismal prognosis that may initially be offered by a non specialist.
Each case is unique and each patient is an individual. Published statistics do not reflect the unique case of a newly diagnosed patient, whose options for long term survival are continually improving through modern medical treatment.
