You really can't make such statements about "cancer". Stage II lung cancer? You will probably die in a few months, surviving five years isn't very likely. Stage 4b Hodgkin's lymphoma at the age of 18? You have a decent chance of getting to know your grand children.

Sure, depends on the tumor type, the stage, mutation and diagnosis. I have been involved with what we call "advanced cancers" mainly.
