Bone Cancer Survival Rate Based on Stage
- 41 percent of bone and joint cancer cases are diagnosed while the cancer is still confined to the primary site (localized stage)
- 36 percent of bone and joint cancer cases are diagnosed after the cancer has spread to regional lymph nodes or directly beyond the primary site
- 15 percent of bone and joint cancer cases are diagnosed after the cancer has already metastasized (distant stage)
- 8 percent of bone and joint cancer cases had staging information that was unknown.
The corresponding 5-year relative bone cancer survival rates were:
- 84.5 percent for localized
- 69.4 percent for regional
- 30.6 percent for distant
- 62.2 percent for unstaged.
