TL;DR: In this paper, the first study in a programme to investigate international survival disparities, with the aim of informing health policy to raise standards and reduce inequalities in survival, was presented, where data from population-based cancer registries in 12 jurisdictions in six countries were provided for 2·4 million adults diagnosed with primary colorectal, lung, breast, ovarian, or ovarian cancer during 1995-2007, with follow-up to Dec 31, 2007.
Journal ArticleDOI
An application of capture-recapture methods to the estimation of completeness of cancer registration
TL;DR: In the present analysis, estimates of completeness of the registry as a whole were remarkably similar using either two or three data sources, and site-specific comparisons differed by at most 7%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Will D. King,Loraine D. Marrett +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the risk of bladder cancer increases with both duration and concentration of exposure to chlorination by-products, with population attributable risks of about 14 to 16 percent.

Cancer registration in Ontario: a computer approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in Risk Factors for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer by Histologic Type Results of a Case-Control Study
TL;DR: It is suggested that mucinous ovarian tumors may be etiologically unrelated to other types of epithelial tumors, and thus should be considered separately in studies of ovarian cancer.
