The majority of patients with life expectancy less than 10 years and a significant minority with life expectancy less than 5 years were treated with surgery or ablation for T1a kidney cancer. Life expectancy should be better incorporated into treatment decision making for early stage kidney cancer....

Differences in stage had a smaller impact on the life expectancy gap compared with the impact of incidence. Differences in cancer survival after diagnosis had a significant impact for only two cancers—breast (0.14 years; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.16) and prostate (0.05 years; 95% CI 0.01 to 0.09...
