The new statistics are taken from the National Oesophago-Gastric Cancer Audit. It is the first time national data on three-year survival rates for this patient group have been published. The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) said the audit includes information on more than 17,000 patients in ...
The significant improvement in stomach cancer survival in England and Wales since 1990 continues the trend observed since the early 1970s. One-year survival improved more rapidly in the 1990s (4–5% every 5 years) than in the 1970s and 1980s (2% every 5 years), whereas improvements in long...
However, there was little significant difference between males and females in terms of the overall survival rates. These results may be useful for planning a health policy for preventing and managing stomach cancer in Korea. 展开 关键词: Aged Incidence KEPEC Mortality Stomach neoplasm Survival ...
To monitor for secular trends in survival among patients with stomach cancer. The overall survival among patients with stomach cancer has remained stable at a low level for several decades. Relative survival was estimated for all 53,862 living patients reported from 1960 to 1989 to the Swedish C...
In areas where the frequency of stomach cancer remains high, such as Japan, screening programs that include upper GI barium studies and, more recently, gastrointestinal endoscopy have improved survival rates. Evidence does not support mass screening of populations with lower rates of stomach cancer. ...
10 Gastric cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer mortality in the UK for men and the seventh leading cause of cancer mortality for women. Overall, the 5-year survival rate remains less than 20% in the UK.11 Worldwide the incidence of gastric carcinoma is highest in Japan with 62.1...
AIM: The survival rate of patients with stomach cancer is used to evaluate the effects of treatments. The short- and mid-term survival of patients on the present level of treatments can be described by calculating 1- to 5-year survival rates.The aims of this study were to document patterns...
Survival from cancer of the stomach in England and Wales up to 2001 - Commentary The BJC is owned by Cancer Research UK, a charity dedicated to understanding the causes, prevention and treatment of cancer and to making sure that the best new treatments reach patients in the clinic as quickly...
mainly due to the aggressive screening programs in place. The peak incidence is in the 6th decade and, overall, men are more affected than women. In North America, stomach cancer is the eighth most common cancer among males. The overall 5-year survival is estimated at 15% (Kim, 1999). ...
Sociodemographic inequalities in cancer treatment have been generally described, but there is little evidence regarding patients with advanced cancer. Understanding variation in the management of these patients may provide insights into likely mechanisms leading to inequalities in survival. Methods We identifie...
