| The five-year survival rate among African American women with breast cancer diagnosed between 1996 and 2002 was 77%, compared to 90% among whites--numbers the American Cancer Society attributes to the disparity in detection and poorer stage-specific survival. If breast cancer is detected early, the five-year survival rate is 95 percent, according to the American Cancer Society. In the general population the five-year survival rate is 70% if lung cancer is caught at stage I (localized cancer), but only 5% at stage IV (distant metastases). |
