A member asked:

People talk about cancer survival in 2, 5, 10 year intervals. when is the starting point?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Some begin these intervals at the date of confirmed diagnosis. Others from the end of the first course of treatment - surgery, + chemo and radiation. The survival statistics depend heavily upon the type of cancer. Ask your oncologist which category yours fits in.
