The gap between early and late is enormous

Each card sets two bars on the same scale: how many people are alive five years later when the cancer is caught before it spreads, and when it is not. Every figure comes from the National Cancer Institute's SEER program, and we link the source so you can check us.

76.3%

survive five years when the cancer is caught early, averaged across the 6 cancers below.

19.3%

survive five years when it is found after it has spread to other organs.

5-year relative survival, 2016-2022. NCI SEER Cancer Stat Facts

Figures are 5-year relative survival by SEER stage at diagnosis from the NCI Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. They describe outcomes by the stage at which a cancer was found; they are not outcomes attributable to whole-body MRI screening, which has not been shown in randomized trials to reduce cancer mortality. What these numbers do and do not show.
