Progress in cancer survival, mortality, and incidence in seven high-income countries 1995–2014: a population-based study

This Lancet Oncology study looked at survival rates of seven cancers (oesophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, lung, and ovary)in seven high-income countries (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, and the UK), analysing patient data of almost 4 million people diagnosed between 1995 and 2014. The study found that that cancer survival rates are continuing to increase across high-income countries; over 1995–2014, 1-year and 5-year net survival increased in each country across almost all cancer types. Pancreatic cancer had the lowest survival among the studied cancer sites, although survival increases were observed over time in most countries except New Zealand.
