Cancer survival rates are usually five year survival from diagnosis. We've gotten better at detecting cancer earlier, meaning people are more likely to make it to five years, but, from what I've read (and I'd love to see research showing what I've seen is wrong!), the number of people living longer than they would have 30 years ago has not gone up as dramatically (there are some cancers that have seen tremendous improvement, though).

Does anybody have numbers on 10-20 year survival?

The linked stats show 1,5 and 10 year survival rates, which are all roughly following the same trend
