Survival rates for melanoma provide an estimate of the likelihood of being alive after a certain period, typically five years, compared to the general population. Here are the key points:

- Stage 4 Melanoma: The five-year relative survival rate is 35%. This means people with stage 4 melanoma are 35% as likely to be alive after five years compared to the general population.
- Stage 3 Melanoma: Specific survival rates for stage 3 are not provided in the context, but survival rates generally improve with earlier stages.

It's important to note that these rates are based on large studies and cannot predict individual outcomes. Advances in treatment have improved survival rates over the past 20 years.
