Portuguese term or phrase: sobrevida
O estadiamento clínico e a sobrevida também não apresentaram correção com a presença do HPV.
Sobrevida é quanto tempo o paciente sobrevive após o diagnóstico. Não tenho certeza se posso usar survival. Acho que existe um termo mais específico.

Obrigada a todos. "survival rate" parece ser o mais comum nesse contexto, embora a sugestão do Antônio também seja boa.

SURVIVAL TIME:
The length of time a patient lives after induction or HDC with stem cell transplantation. (For patients, it is important to know whether survival is being measured from the time of induction or HDC.) Survival times are sometimes projected based on data from studies. In published studies on HDC for breast cancer, patients who died within 30 days of treatment were usually excluded from the calculations. This could create a misleading impression that HDC with ABMT/BCT improves survival time.
