Know You Chances


 

 Survival rates of brain cancer - know your chances:
May be known as one of the most difficult types of cancer brain tumor survival is not something that the patient really wants to hear. Medical sources say, to account for different results on different aspects of brain tumors based, but one thing is clear so far - the survival of brain tumors in most patients the disease is very low.
The average life expectancy of patients with this cancer is confirmed about 1-2 years after diagnosis. The main reasons attributed to this low survival rate is the nature of the disease and the absence of known treatment. This cancer affects the most important part of the human body - the nervous system. Brain cancer cells in the brain rapidly proliferate at a rate that is faster than the rate of the proliferation of other cancers dangerous, so that the cancer can easily infect the entire nervous system in a short period.

Within five years, is an in 5 people suffering from brain tumors in the world still alive. This means that regardless of the stage, those who suffer from this cancer has a survival rate of 20% overall responsibility.
United States, brain tumors more common in Caucasians and Africans compared to their U.S. counterparts (with a survival rate of 38%) men and white women are less likely to survive a maximum of five years 32-33%.
Wait until the cancer is already dangerous in the early stages. Even with appropriate treatment, such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the survival rate of brain cancer is in an early stage 55-60%. For a cancer patient, it may be a bit dark, as it is. But keep in mind that these prices are just for statistical purposes and doctors, but it should not as a basis for predicting the accuracy of his patients' lives.
As the cancer progresses more for its completion, and can significantly reduce survival if the cancer begins to eat other organs of the body may not be enough hope to keep the patient long. The survival rates of brain tumors may also be based on a person's age. Children with this type of cancer the highest survival rate of 73%. This percentage will. To 50% for patients who may be increased in the 15-33 years and then, with age, the chances of survival even lower. The main cause is the inability of older people survives to fight cancer and the grueling regimen.
