For prostate cancer?

The Money Quote:

According to the most recent data, for all men with prostate cancer, the relative 5-year survival rate is nearly100% and the relative 10-year survival rate is 91%. The 15-year relative survival rate is 76%.

That is the ACS, which has no interest in inflating survival rates.
