    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_survival_rates

    Small cell lung cancer has a five-year survival rate of 4% according to Cancer Centers of America's Website. [5] The American Cancer Society reports 5-year relative survival rates of over 70% for women with stage 0-III breast cancer with a 5-year relative survival rate close to 100% for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_survival_curve

    The cell survival curve is a curve often used in radiobiology that represents the relationship between the amount of cells retaining reproductive capabilities and the absorbed dose of radiation from said cells. Tumor cells are able to grow infinitely, while normal cells must undergo treatment in order to grow indefinitely (see Cellular ...

    In general, the severity of cancer increases with a shorter duration of time between initial treatment and its return. [3] Cancers with the highest recurrence rates include Glioblastoma with a recurrence rate of almost 100%, [5] Epithelial ovarian cancer with a recurrence rate of 85%, [6] and Bladder cancer with a recurrence rate of 30-54% [7]

  6. Mitotic index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitotic_index

    An elevated mitotic index indicates more cells are dividing. In cancer cells, the mitotic index may be elevated compared to normal growth of tissues or cellular repair of the site of an injury. [2] The mitotic index is therefore an important prognostic factor predicting both overall survival and response to chemotherapy in most types of cancer ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_evolution_in_cancer

    In gliomas, a form of brain cancer, radiation therapy appears to select for stem cells, [113] [114] though it is unclear if the tumor returns to the pre-therapy proportion of cancer stem cells after therapy or if radiotherapy selects for an alteration that keeps the glioma cells in the stem cell state.
