> I'm unfamiliar with how the US stats get collected - is that 90% of "everyone who had prostate cancer" survives 5+ years; or is that "everyone who had prostate cancer and private medical insurance"?
It's survival rate from point of diagnosis. Obviously, insurance and access will affect whether and when diagnosis occurs, but the effects aren't as simple as just limiting the scope to the insured or not.
