The cost of cancer registry operations: Impact of volume on cost per case for core and enhanced registry activities.

TL;DR: Low- and medium-volume cancer registries have higher costs than high-volume registries for all key activities, but some cost differences by volume can be explained by the large fixed costs required for administering and performing registration activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of state-specific life tables on relative survival.

TL;DR: Differences between relative survival based on USLT and SLT were small and state-based estimates were less reliable than US- based estimates for older populations aged 85+, underscore the need to develop more appropriate life tables that better represent the varying mortality patterns in different populations in order to obtain accurate estimates of relative survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Worldwide trends in population-based survival for children, adolescents, and young adults diagnosed with leukaemia, by subtype, during 2000-14 (CONCORD-3): analysis of individual data from 258 cancer registries in 61 countries.

N. Ssenyonga, +585 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined worldwide trends in survival from leukaemia, by age and morphology, in young patients (aged 0-24 years) diagnosed with a haematological malignancy during 2000-14 in 61 countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of and Trends in the Leading Cancers With Elevated Incidence Among American Indian and Alaska Native Populations, 2012-2016.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined trends for cancers with elevated incidence among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) compared with non-Hispanic White populations and estimated potentially avoidable incident cases among AI/AN populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Relationship between Cigarette Smoking and the Risk of Endometrial Neoplasms

TL;DR: Hyperplasia could provide a useful model for studying the smoking effect on endometrial neoplasms in premenopausal women, and smoking modestly reduced the risk, (although not statistically significantly), for hyperplasia among pre- and postmenopausalWomen, and for carcinoma among post menopausal women.
