Note. Data source: NHIS, 2012. Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population. Percentages are age adjusted using the projected 2010 U.S. population as the standard population. Acute survivorship: <1 year post-diagnosis, short-term survivorship: 1 to 5 years post-diagnosis, long-term survivorship: ≥ 5 years post-diagnosis.
