Figure 2. Relative survival of prostate cancer cases by age at diagnosis (1994–2008).

Figure 2

The survival of men diagnosed with prostate cancer is compared to the survival of men with similar demographic characteristics from the US population using SEER data4. A reduction in relative survival from 100% demonstrates the impact of death due to prostate cancer. Among men diagnosed between 1994–2008, those diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 55 have worse 5- and 10-year survival than all other men except the elderly (80+ years at diagnosis).
