Rectal adenocarcinoma survival rates vary, but these statistics will give you a general idea of rectal adenocarcinoma survival rates for people who live in Singapore. The five-year survival rate represents the percentage of patients alive five years after their initial rectal adenocarcinoma diagnosis.

Five-Year Survival Statistics for Women in Singapore:

  • Localized rectal adenocarcinoma: 56%
  • Rectal adenocarcinoma with regional metastases: 39%
  • Rectal adenocarcinoma with distant metastases: 9%

Five-Year Survival Statistics for Men in Singapore:

  • Localized rectal adenocarcinoma: 53%
  • Rectal adenocarcinoma with regional metastases: 42%

These rectal adenocarcinoma survival statistics were derived from a study published in the journal Diseases of the Colon and Rectum. The researchers examined data from cancer patients registered in the Singapore Registry from 1968 – 1997.
