What Is The Life Expectancy Of Lung Cancer? | Lung Foundation Australia

When you’re first diagnosed, you’ll be looking at the lung cancer survival rate statistics and there’s no denying they’re scary with only 17% of those diagnosed with lung cancer living beyond five years. But those living with lung cancer are living better, longer lives with improved treatment and a better understanding of what their options are.

It’s true that life expectancy statistics don’t paint a great picture, and it’s normal to feel anxious about the future. But advances in science and research mean we’re seeing new and emerging treatments, and those living with lung cancer are able to participate in an increasing number of clinical trials.
