Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating potential savings in cancer deaths by eliminating regional and social class variation in cancer survival in the Nordic countries.
TL;DR: This methodology showed a small amount of systematic regional variation in cancer survival in the Nordic countries and those cancer sites with high levels of regional variation identified are potential targets for cancer control programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chlamydia pneumoniae infection and the risk of female early‐onset lung cancer
Tarja Anttila,Pentti Koskela,Maija Leinonen,Päivi Laukkanen,Timo Hakulinen,Matti Lehtinen,Eero Pukkala,Jorma Paavonen,Pekka Saikku +8 more
TL;DR: This book aims to provide a history of cancer research in Finland from 1989 to 2002, a period chosen in order to explore its roots as well as specific cases up to and including the year of World War II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coverage and performance of colorectal cancer screening with the faecal occult blood test in Finland.
Nea Malila,Tiina Palva,Outi Malminiemi,Hannu Paimela,Ahti Anttila,Timo Hakulinen,Heikki Järvinen,Marja-Liisa Kotisaari,Pekka Pikkarainen,Matti Rautalahti,Risto Sankila,Harri Vertio,Matti Hakama +12 more
TL;DR: Implementation of screening measured with response rate was successful and met the criteria for a public health programme, but performance in terms of positive predictive value needs monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of screening for colorectal cancer with a faecal occult-blood test, in Finland
Janne Pitkäniemi,Karri Seppä,Matti Hakama,Outi Malminiemi,Tiina Palva,Vuoristo Ms,Heikki Järvinen,Hannu Paimela,Pekka Pikkarainen,Ahti Anttila,Elovainio L,Timo Hakulinen,Sakari Karjalainen,Liisa Pylkkänen,Rautalahti M,Tytti Sarkeala,Harri Vertio,Nea Malila +17 more
TL;DR: The substantial effect difference between males and females is inconsistent with the evidence from randomised clinical trials and with the recommendations of several international organisations, and highlights the importance of randomised evaluation when new health policies are implemented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life tables for world-wide comparison of relative survival for cancer (CONCORD study).
Paolo Baili,Andrea Micheli,Roberta De Angelis,Hannah K. Weir,Silvia Francisci,Mariano Santaquilani,Timo Hakulinen,Manuela Quaresmas,Michel P Coleman +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared population-based relative survival from cancer using data from cancer registries in five continents and compared the impact of two approaches to the deployment of life tables in relative survival analysis.
