On standardized relative survival
Cancer survival comparisons between cohorts are often assessed by estimates of relative or net survival. These measure the difference in mortality between those diagnosed with the disease and the general population. For such comparisons methods are needed to standardize cohort structure (including age at diagnosis) and all-cause mortality rates in the general population. Standardized non-parame...
متن کاملEstimating the Net Survival of Patients with Gastric Cancer in Iran in a Relative Survival Framework
Background: Iran is an Eastern Mediterranean region country with the highest rate of gastric cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the 5-year net survival of patients with gastric cancer in Iran using a relative survival framework.Methods: In a cross-sectional study, using life-table estimation of relative survival, we reported 1- to 5-year relative survival regarding age, sex, disease st...
متن کاملRegression models for relative survival.
Four approaches to estimating a regression model for relative survival using the method of maximum likelihood are described and compared. The underlying model is an additive hazards model where the total hazard is written as the sum of the known baseline hazard and the excess hazard associated with a diagnosis of cancer. The excess hazards are assumed to be constant within pre-specified bands o...
متن کاملRelative survival analysis in R
Relative survival techniques are used to compare the survival experience in a study cohort with the one expected should they follow the background population mortality rates. The techniques are especially useful when the cause-specific death information is not accurate or not available since they provide a measure of excess mortality in a group of patients with a certain disease. There are seve...
متن کاملEstimating and modelling relative survival
Relative survival, the survival analogue of excess mortality, is the method of choice for estimating patient survival using data collected by populationbased cancer registries. The relative survival ratio is typically estimated from life tables as the ratio of the observed survival of the patients (where all deaths are considered events) to the expected survival of a comparable group from the g...
