Only a small proportion of men with early stage prostate cancer die from the disease within 10 to 15 years of diagnosis.
Is it true that only a small proportion of men with early stage prostate cancer die from the disease within 10 to 15 years of diagnosis?
Yes. Clinical evidence confirms that only a small proportion of men diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer die from the disease over a 10- to 15-year period.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved population-based studies and cohort analyses consistently demonstrate extremely high long-term survival rates (often exceeding 90-99%) for localized or early-stage prostate cancer, supporting the claim that very few men die from the disease within 10 to 15 years of diagnosis.
