Relative survival (3 and 5-year) for localized RCC less than 4 cm by age group. RS rates represent comparison of observed survival in patients with small (less than 4 cm) tumors to expected survival for age, sex and race matched cancer-free population. Therefore, likelihood of 5-year survival for 38-year-old patient treated surgically for small (less than 4 cm) localized RCC is nearly identical to that of age, sex and race matched control without cancer (97.9%). Similarly elderly patients with small treated localized RCC have nearly identical survival compared to peers without cancer. Moreover, comparisons of RS rates among age cohorts revealed no statistically significant differences.
