Line graph showing the proportion of surviving individuals who were diagnosed with cancer at ages 0 to 17 in the United States, by year of diagnosis. The x axis displays years from diagnosis, ranging from 0 to 20. The y axis lists proportion surviving, from 0 to 1. Three lines are mapped with data from years 1990 to 1999, 2000 to 2009, and 2010 to 2016. The proportion surviving declines gently over the years, but an overall higher proportion of people survives in the most recent years– sample.
