From 2014 to 2020, the probability of a person in the U.S. surviving the first five years after being diagnosed with melanoma of the skin was 94 percent. This statistic shows the five-year survival rate for melanoma skin cancer in the U.S. from 1975 to 1977, 1995 to 1997, and 2014 to 2020.
Rates are age adjusted for normal life expectancy and are based on cases diagnosed in the SEER 9 areas for 1975-1977 and 1995-1997, and in the SEER 22 areas for 2014-2020; all cases were followed through 2021.
