The chart for Stage I breast cancer is displayed below.

The data presented in this chart was derived from the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), a resource maintained by the American College of Surgeons. Cases were diagnosed from 1998-2002; at the time the plots displayed here were generated, 2002 was the most recent year available with five-year follow-up information. Calculations were performed using the NCDB Survival Reports software tool, and the charts present unadjusted outcomes. This chart reflects the five-year survival rates for 697 Stage I breast cancer patients newly diagnosed at Fox Chase Cancer Center from 1998 - 2002.
