BACKGROUND
Results from the second CONCORD study (CONCORD‐2) indicated that 5‐year net survival for lung cancer was low (range, 10%‐20%) between 1995 and 2009 in most countries, including the United States, which was at the higher end of this range.
METHODS
Data from CONCORD‐2 were used to analyze net survival among patients with lung cancer (aged 15‐99 years) who were diagnosed in 37 states covering...
BACKGROUND
The 5‐year relative survival for prostate cancers diagnosed between 1990 and 1994 in the United States was very high (92%); however, survival in black males was 7% lower compared with white males. The authors updated these findings and examined survival by stage and race.
METHODS
The authors used data from the CONCORD‐2 study for males (ages 15‐99 years) who were diagnosed with prostate...
BACKGROUND
Overall, cervical cancer survival in the United States has been reported to be among the highest in the world, despite slight decreases over the last decade. Objective of the current study was to describe cervical cancer survival trends among US women and examine differences by race and stage.
METHODS
This study used data from the CONCORD‐2 study to compare survival among women (aged...
BACKGROUND
In the first CONCORD study, 5‐year survival for patients with diagnosed with rectal cancer between 1990 and 1994 was <60%, with large racial disparities noted in the majority of participating states. We have updated these findings to 2009 by examining population‐based survival by stage of disease at the time of diagnosis, race, and calendar period.
METHODS
Data from the CONCORD‐2...
BACKGROUND
Reducing breast cancer incidence and achieving equity in breast cancer outcomes remains a priority for public health practitioners, health care providers, policy makers, and health advocates. Monitoring breast cancer survival can help evaluate the effectiveness of health services, quantify inequities in outcomes between states or population subgroups, and inform efforts to improve the...
BACKGROUND
Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are rare tumors in the general population but are the most commonly occurring malignancy among males between ages 15 and 44 years in the United States (US). Although non‐Hispanic whites (NHWs) have the highest incidence in the US, rates among Hispanics have increased the most in recent years. To forecast what these incidence rates may be in the future,...
BACKGROUND
During the last decade, an inverse stage migration has been observed in radical prostatectomy series at tertiary centers. However, it remains unclear whether similar trends can also be observed in solely robotic practices, including nonreferral centers. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and pathological trends in robotic‐assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) enrollment...
