There are approximately 25 000 men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer every year in the United Kingdom. For these men the risk of dying from their prostate cancer depends on a number of risk factors. For example if the cancer is confined to the prostate gland at diagnosis the chance of surviving to 5 years is 70%.

Prostate Cancer survival statistics

Survival rates for prostate cancer have been improving for more than 20 years. This page presents prostate cancer survival statistics trends over time, and survival by age at diagnosis.

Interpretation of prostate cancer survival trends is difficult as the case-mix on which they are based is likely to have changed over time. The detection of a greater proportion of latent, earlier, slow-growing tumours in more recent time periods would be expected to have a beneficial effect on survival rates.

The relative five-year survival rate for men diagnosed in England in 2000–01 was 71%, compared with only 31% for men diagnosed in 1971–75 (Figure 3.1).1,2
