The 1-year relative survival for lung cancer increased from 35% in 1975-1979 to 42% in 2002-2005, largely due to improvements in surgical techniques and combined therapies. However, the 5-year survival rate for all stages combined is only 16%. The 5-year survival rate is 53% for cases detected when the disease is still localized, but only 15% of lung cancers are diagnosed at this early stage. (American Cancer Society, 2010)
The 5-year relative survival rates for colon cancer are 74% in stage I, a range of 37% to 67% in stage II, a range of 28% to 73% in stage III and 6% in stage IV. The 5-year relative survival rates for rectal cancer are 74% in stage I, a range of 32% to 65% in stage II, a range of 33% to 74% in stage III and 6% in stage IV.
Prostatectomy Surgery Options. Historically the most common treatment option for prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy is the removal of the prostate gland and some surrounding tissue through an invasive surgical procedure. RP is performed under general anesthesia and involves a hospital stay of three days on average for patient observation and recovery. Possible side affects of RP include impotence and incontinence. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in January 2000, approximately 60% of men who had a RP reported erectile dysfunction as a result of surgery. This same study stated that approximately 40% of the patients observed reported at least occasional incontinence. New methods such as laparoscopic and robotic prostatectomy surgeries are currently being used more frequently in order to minimize the nerve damage that leads to impotence and incontinence, but these techniques require a high degree of surgical skill. RP and laparoscopic prostatectomy are projected to decrease approximately 31% in the U.S. from the 2004 high of 66,567 to 20,838 procedures in 2014. However, robotic surgeries are projected to more than replace the decrease in the RP and laparoscopic procedures (Source: iData Research Inc., 2008).

Highlight of Business Operations:
An estimated 222,520 new cases of lung cancer are expected in 2010, accounting for 15% of all cancer diagnoses in the United States. Lung cancer accounts for the most cancer related deaths in both men and women in the United States. An estimated 157,300 deaths, accounting for about 28% of all cancer deaths, are expected to occur in 2010. This exceeds the combined number of deaths from the three leading causes of cancer (breast, prostate, and colon cancers). It also accounts for 6% of all deaths from any source in the United States.
