Cancer survival in the USA, 1973-1990: a statistical analysis.

Relative survival rates in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) 'SEER' review of cancer in the USA are fitted by a model which can be used to estimate median survival time in any calendar year. It is argued that median survival times (MSTs) are better indicators of survival than 5-year rela...

description Relative survival rates in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) 'SEER' review of cancer in the USA are fitted by a model which can be used to estimate median survival time in any calendar year. It is argued that median survival times (MSTs) are better indicators of survival than 5-year relative survival rates (RSRs), especially when survival times are short.
