Calculating age-adjusted cancer survival estimates when age-specific data are sparse: an empirical evaluation of various methods

We evaluated empirically the performance of various methods of calculating age-adjusted survival estimates when age-specific data are sparse. We have illustrated that a recently proposed alternative method of age adjustment involving the use of balanced age groups or age truncation may be useful for...
