For example, the average lifespan Lung cancer still accounts for 9 months, and for tumors of the pancreas 6-7 months, which is not much different from that of 40 years ago. But in general, the development of medicine, the emergence of new drugs and patients great concern at the alarming symptoms, which leads to earlier detection of the disease, suggests that cancer patients today live longer.
British Society Support cancer patients Macmillan Cancer Support says that the overall median survival - lifespan at least half of the patients after the diagnosis - for all types of cancer collectively has risen from 1 year to 5 in 1971, 8 years in our time. For 11 types of cancer in 20 patients the average life expectancy is now more than five years, but for the other nine types of cancer, it is less than three years, which is not much different from the 1970s.
You can talk about "luck" of patients who developed it nowadays such types of tumors such as breast cancer, colon, nehodzhinskoy lymphoma, skin cancer, testicular and throat - their average lifespan It exceeds 10 years. At the same time indicators of breast cancer increased from 1970 twice. The life of patients with brain tumors, lung and pancreatic cancer, unfortunately, still measured in weeks and months. Speaking about the years of living in these cases is not necessary.
This study was a large-scale operation, which gave answers to the question, how many today live on average people who received the terrible diagnosis. The authors of the study emphasize that certain types of cancer, "give up" are not going to, so science needs new tools to create effective treatments.
