Background: Survival from breast cancer is lower in the UK than in some other European countries. We compared survival in England and Norway by age and time from diagnosis. Methods: We included 303,648 English and 24,919 Norwegian cases of breast cancer diagnosed 1996–2004 using flexible parametric relative survival models, enabling improved quantification of differences in survival. Crude probabilities...
Relative survival is used extensively in population‐based cancer studies to measure patient survival correcting for causes of death not related to the disease of interest. An advantage of relative survival is that it provides a measure of mortality associated with a particular disease, without the need for information on cause of death. Relative survival provides a measure of net mortality, i.e. the...
