As the survival rate of cancer patients continues to increase due to advances in medical technology, 7 out of 10 people survive for more than 5 years.
According to the 2021 national cancer registration statistics collected by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the cancer registry headquarters, the 5-year relative survival rate of cancer patients diagnosed between 2017 and 2021 was by 72.1%.

The number of cancer patients in Korea is estimated to be close to 300,000, and the most common cancers are thyroid cancer, colon cancer, and lung cancer.
