Cancer survival is typically measured using several metrics:
Overall survival rate: The percentage of patients who are alive after a specified period, usually 5 years. Relative survival rate: Compares the survival of cancer patients to the expected survival of people in the general population who share the same characteristics. Disease-free survival: The length of time after treatment during which the patient has no signs of cancer. Progression-free survival: The time during and after the treatment that the patient lives without the cancer worsening.
