“…These rates are consistent with those of another study in Northeastern Thailand, which found that the survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 83.3%, 59.9% and 42.9%, respectively (Poum etal., 2012). Outside Thailand, while our median survival rate is higher than the 5.7 years found by a study of breast cancer patients in Malaysia (Abdullah et al, 2013), our findings are lower than those reported in Iran. A study of breast cancer patients after receiving radiotherapy in Iran found that the survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 96.0% , 86% and 81.0%, respectively (Ziaei et al, 2013).…”

“…We found that woman aged less than 50 years old had better survival compared to women aged more than 50 years old which has been indicated in other studies (Fisch et al, 2005;Abdullah et al, 2013). The better survival rate in women which were younger than 50 years observed in present study that may be due to proper awareness of disease signs, self-examination and diagnosis in early stage.…”

Cervical cancer is the most common malignant cancer of the female reproductive organs worldwide. Currently, cervical cancer can be prevented by vaccination and detected at an early stage via various screening methods. Malaysia, as a developing country faces a heavy disease burden of cervical cancer as it is the second most common cancer among Malaysian women. This population based study was carried out to fulfil the primary aim of determining the survival rates of Malaysian women with cervical cancer and associated factors. Data were obtained from two different sources namely, the Malaysian National Cancer Registry (MNCR) and National Health Informatics Centre (NHIC) from 1st January 2000 to 31st December 2005. Kaplan Meier analyses were conducted to identify the overall survival rates and median survival time. Differences in survival among different ethnic and age group were compared using the log-rank test. A total of 5,859 patients were included. The median survival time for cervical cancer in this study was 65.8 months and the 5-year survival rate was 71.1% . The overall observed survival rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were 94.1%, 79.3% and 71.1% respectively. The log-rank test finding also showed that there were significant differences in the 5-year survival rate among different ethnic groups. Malays had the lowest survival rate of 59.2% followed by Indians (69.5%) and Chinese (73.8%). The overall 5-year survival rate among patients with cervical cancer in Malaysia is relatively good. Age and ethnic groups remain as significant determining factors for cervical cancer survival rate.
