The "Survival Rate" is a statistical measure that indicates the percentage of individuals who continue to live after a specific period following a diagnosis or treatment. It is commonly used in medical contexts, such as for patients with diseases like cancer or heart disease, to assess the effectiveness of treatments and the prognosis of patients. Survival rates are often expressed in terms of 1-year, 5-year, or 10-year survival rates, depending on the context. For example, a 5-year survival rate of 70% means that 70% of patients are expected to live for at least five years after their diagnosis. This information helps patients and healthcare providers make informed decisions about treatment options.
