Survival Analysis of Lung Cancer by Stage Diagnosis of lung cancer in local stage is difficult because symptoms usually do not appear until the disease is advanced. Only about 23% of lung cancers in Caucasians and 18-19% in African-Americans are diagnosed at the local stage. Most early stage lung cancer cases are diagnosed incidentally. The five-year survival rate for local stage cancer is less than 50% for the general population. The fiveyear survival for distant stage cancer is approximately 2%. An effective method for screening for lung cancer has not yet been developed although promising methods are being tested. When a new method is developed, the hope is that it will be as effective and universally used as mammography screening has been for breast cancer and the PSA blood test has been for prostate cancer. The major risk factor for lung cancer is tobacco smoking. The risk increases over time as a person continues to smoke. However, if a person is able to quit smoking before cancer has developed, the lung tissue can begin to repair itself. An ex-smoker can lower his risk of lung cancer, but his risk will still be higher than that of someone who has never smoked. Nonsmokers who are exposed to second hand smoke in the home or workplace are also at increased risk for developing lung cancer. Exposure to carcinogens in the workplace or the environment and having a family history of lung cancer have also been found to contribute to an increased risk for getting the disease.

Survival Analysis of Colorectal Cancer by Stage The five-year survival rate for colorectal cancer has gradually increased over the past 29 years for the general population. Currently, the five-year relative survival rate for local stage cancer is over 90% compared to 73% in 1973. At distant stage, the five-year relative survival rate is over 10% compared to 4% in 1973. This improved survival has been linked to improved early detection practices including the increased use of screening sigmoidoscopy. Age, family history, and diet are risk factors in developing colorectal cancer. The symptoms of colorectal cancer may mimic some other conditions such as hemorrhoids or inflammatory bowel disease. It is best to consult with a physician to determine the correct cause of the symptoms. Screening typically begins at age 50 for the general population. If there is family history of the disease, a patient needs to confer with their physician to discuss when screening should begin.
