Survival rates are a way to get a general idea of the outlook (prognosis) for people with a certain type of tumor. They tell you what portion of people with the same type of tumor are still alive a certain amount of time (usually 5 years) after they were diagnosed. They can’t tell you how long you will live, but they may help give you a better understanding about how likely it is that your treatment will be successful.
Survival rates for more common adult brain and spinal cord tumors:
Type of Tumor 5-Year Relative Survival Rate
20-44 45-54
Low-grade (diffuse) astrocytoma 68% 44%
Anaplastic astrocytoma 54% 32%
Glioblastoma 19% 8%
