Five-Year Survival Rates

Prognosis is strongly affected by the grade of tumor. Involvement of seminal vesicles is an important prognostic indicator.

Grade Vs. 5-Year Survival (from Textbook of Clinical Oncology, third edition)

• G1 60%
• G2 35%
• G3 15%
• G4 5%

Stage Vs. 5-Year Disease-free Survival with Treatment (from the National Cancer Institute's Physician Data Query system, July, 2002)

• American Urologic Association (AUA) Staging System
• A1 occult cancer—usually not treated
• A2 > 90%
• B1 85% (50% 10-year disease-free survival with treatment)
• B2 85% (37% 10-year disease-free survival with treatment)
• C 48%
• D 21% (all metastatic cases)
