aThe cohort analysis of survival rates was utilized for calculating the survival estimates presented in this table. Long-term cohort-based survival estimates reflect the survival experience of individuals diagnosed over the time period, and they may not necessarily reflect the long-term survival outlook of newly diagnosed cases.
bRates are an estimate of the percentage of patients alive at one, two, five, and ten years, respectively. Rates were not presented for categories with 50 or less cases and were suppressed for rates where less than 16 cases were surviving within a category.
