An estimate of the percentage of patients that would be expected to survive the effects of their disease. This rate is calculated by adjusting the observed survival rate so that the effects of causes of death, other than those related to the disease in question, is removed. (Observed survival is the actual percentage of patients still alive at some specified time after diagnosis of disease. It considers deaths from all causes.)
