You won’t be able to find a definitive answer because there are many types of cancer and the outcome of treatment can very from person to person. there are also undiagnosed people who die from cancer and people in whom the cancer re-occurs time and time again. It’s an extremely broad area with infinite variants.

I don’t know that the information is available since there are so many different kinds of cancers with variable mortality rates. I found some useful information here: http://surveillance.cancer.gov/statistics/types/mortality.html

well, some types of cancer can be cured if caught with in a certain time, others they cant guarantee they will be able to cure it. so the percent of people who die from cancer is about 10%. just a guess

If they take chemotherapy 97.3% of them die within five years. If they don’t take chemotherapy or radiation, their chances are slightly higher.

In certian parts of the world there are absolute cures, which are constantly suppressed from being released to the public. The success rates are as high as 92%.
