Statistics on cancer survival rates and life expectancy are very misleading and totally inappropriate for several reasons. Some types of cancer statistics, such as ovarian cancer, for example, are even more absurd than most.
One problem is that they are a look into the rearview mirror. They can not explain all the advances in modern medicine. If you think about it, statistics show that mortality rates of patients with ovarian cancerpast. All who have died of the disease, have no access to modern treatments today. Cancer is a rich field world with millions of patients. The world's governments and large healthcare enterprises are investing in research for economic and political reasons. There is a rapid growth in knowledge.
A second concern is that ovarian cancer is not as common as some others. The statistics are less relevant for lung cancer due to the fact that thereless data to begin with.
Each tumor is different in nature. Even if your doctor tells you are in stage 4, there is still much difference between the members of that group. Not all phases are very similar to 4 people. It is a simple way to give you a vague idea of what ship
Another problem is that statistics do not distinguish between people in different emotional states. There is evidence that a positive attitude can add years topatient's life. Mind / body medicine is becoming more common in the west. A negative attitude can cause the patient to commit suicide because the diagnosis is almost traumatic causes the body to release large amounts of cortisol, a stress hormone harmful.
