A member asked:
I'm wondering how much time does it take the doctor to compile the prostate cancer survival rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More than 10 years.: The natural history of prostate cancer, unlike many cancers, is quite long & highly variable. A significant number of men will die of other causes before they die of prostate cancer. Recent randomized trials in prostate cancer (plco, erspc, pivot) have highlighted how difficult it is to determine survival in different subsets of men, and median followup in these trials ranged from 7-13 years.
