Stage 1 9 out of 10 people (90%) diagnosed with stage 1 melanoma will be alive 5 years later. Stage 2 8 out of 10 people (80%) diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma will be alive 5 years later. Stage 3 As you might expect, the survival statistics fall with these more advanced stages of melanoma. Between 4 and 5 out of every 10 people (40-50%) diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma will be alive 5 years later. Stage 4 Understandably, the survival statistics are lower than for stage 3 melanoma.
