Example Diagnosis to Surgery Delay Effects in Patients with Stage IIB, Tumor Size ≥4 Centimeters

Treatment Delay (wk) Patient Age 30 y
Patient Age 60 y
5-y Survival rate Median Survival (y)* 5-y survival rate Median Survival (y)
2 71% 10.1 50% 5.0
4 69% 9.3 47% 4.6
6 67% 8.7 44% 4.2
8 65% 8.0 41% 3.9

Median survival is calculated from 5-year survival rate, assuming survival time follows exponential distribution.
