Hi I want to learned more this cancer & survival rate.

Welcome to the boards. Sorry you are here.

First off, ignore survival rates. Stats vary due to people included in the stats. Many factors go into the stats, age, other conditions, etc. Many of us here are past the survival dates.

The article below may be a good jumping off point for you. According to the article below, 10-15% of CRC is MAC

"Mucinous adenocarcinomas (MACs) are a group of malignant tumors that originate from epithelial tissue and are characterized by abnormal mucus secretion. According to WHO classification, the diagnosis of mucinous adenocarcinoma requires that the tumor cells secrete abundant extracellular mucin involving more than 50% of the tumor volume1. MACs are commonly observed in colorectal cancer (approximately 10–15% of all colorectal cancers2) but can also occur in other glandular organs, such as the breast, stomach, ovary, and lung."

Survival rates per the article

"We performed survival analysis in MACs by tumor stage and tumor grade. The 5-year survival rate in patients with localized, regional and distant MACs were 92.9% (95% CI: 92.5–93.4%), 64.5% (95% CI: 63.6–65.4%), and 21.0% (95% CI: 19.8–22.3%), respectively. Kaplan-Meier disease-specific survival analysis showed that localized MACs had a more favorable survival than regional and distant diseases (Fig. 2A, log-rank P < 0.001). A"
