It really depends on various factors including the stage of the cancer at diagnosis, the patient's overall health, and how well the cancer responds to treatment.

Absolutely. For example, if throat cancer is caught early, the 5-year survival rate can be as high as 90%. But that can drop significantly if the cancer is advanced.

It's also important to remember that even with a favorable prognosis, ongoing treatment and monitoring is crucial to keep the cancer at bay.
