 Cancer Survival Rates in Australia Promising
Five year cancer survival rates from all cancers went up from 47 per cent to 66 per cent from 1987 to 2010 in Australia, which holds promise for victims of cancer.
The best survival rates were seen in prostate cancer, kidney cancer and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. There was not much improvement in mesothelioma, pancreatic cancer and lung cancer."

Women showed better survival rates post cancer diagnosis as compared to men.
