On estimation in relative survival.
TLDR
This article proposes a new estimator of net survival probability that enables the desired comparability between countries and requires no modeling and is accompanied with a straightforward variance estimate.Abstract:
Estimation of relative survival has become the first and the most basic step when reporting cancer survival statistics. Standard estimators are in routine use by all cancer registries. However, it has been recently noted that these estimators do not provide information on cancer mortality that is independent of the national general population mortality. Thus they are not suitable for comparison between countries. Furthermore, the commonly used interpretation of the relative survival curve is vague and misleading. The present article attempts to remedy these basic problems. The population quantities of the traditional estimators are carefully described and their interpretation discussed. We then propose a new estimator of net survival probability that enables the desired comparability between countries. The new estimator requires no modeling and is accompanied with a straightforward variance estimate. The methods are described on real as well as simulated data.read more

TL;DR: For most cancers, 5-year net survival remains among the highest in the world in the USA and Canada, in Australia and New Zealand, and in Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, while for many cancers, Denmark is closing the survival gap with the other Nordic countries.

TL;DR: Progress in cancer control over the study period was evident for stomach, colon, lung (in males), and ovarian cancer, and the impact of comorbidity are likely the main determinants of patient outcomes.

40-year trends in an index of survival for all cancers combined and survival adjusted for age and sex for each cancer in England and Wales, 1971–2011: a population-based study
TL;DR: The overall index of net survival increased substantially during the 40-year period 1971-2011, both in England and in Wales, and substantial increases in both short-term and long-term net survival from all cancers combined in both England and Wales are supported.

TL;DR: This is, to the authors' knowledge, the first worldwide analysis of cancer survival, with standard quality-control procedures and identical analytic methods for all datasets, and should eventually facilitate joint assessment of international trends in incidence, survival, and mortality as indicators of cancer control.

TL;DR: Extensions of the Weibull and log-logistic models are proposed in which natural cubic splines are used to smooth the baseline log cumulative hazard and log cumulative odds of failure functions and a hypothesis test of the appropriateness of the scale chosen for covariate effects (such as of treatment) is proposed.
