Understanding cancer prognosis and outlook helps patients and their families make informed decisions about treatment options and life planning. A prognosis provides an estimate of how cancer might affect someone and their likelihood of survival, based on statistical data from people who have had similar cancers. However, it's important to remember that each person's situation is unique, and statistics cannot predict individual outcomes.

Several factors influence cancer outcomes:
Survival rates are typically expressed as percentages over a specific time period, most commonly five years. The National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program provides these statistics based on data from cancer registries across the United States.
The SEER system uses three main stages to classify cancers:
Age
Overall Health
Genetic Factors
Treatment Response
Diet and Exercise
Smoking and Alcohol Use
Support System
Quality of Care
Treatment Timing
Access to Treatment
Cancer remission is when symptoms decrease or disappear. This is a good indicator if treatment is working, and can be used to determine if interventions need to be changed or adjusted.
Physical Well-being
Emotional Health
Social Support
