Abstract
This study aims at investigating which factors affect the public perceptions of the survival rate of cancer. To this end, this study compares the public perception for 5-year survival rates of five major cancer(stomach, colorectal, liver, breast, uterine cervix) and actual epidemiological fact thereof. Data was collected from 19th to 24th April 2016 through online cross-sectional survey on 354 people. Frequency analysis was conducted to understand the characteristics of the subjects, histograms were presented for the comparison with the epidemiological fact, and multiple regression analysis was conducted. The subjects tended to aware the survival rates of stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and uterine cervix cancer as lower than they epidemiologically represented. Finally, the factors that substantially affect the perception of 5-year survival rates were revealed as the experience of diagnosed as cancer, the age, and whether the subject regularly involved in a workout.
