Abstract:
New data show a continuously increased five-year survival for almost all analyzed cancer diagnoses since 1990. It has to be emphasized that the figures are uncertain due to the limited number of patients. The variation is huge and the greatest improvements are seen not least among the three major tumor diseases (breast, colorectal and prostate cancer), where the society, industry and research bodies made the biggest investments over the years. The causes of improved survival can be sought in several areas, such as earlier detection and better treatments. In addition to survival estimates, it is also always of importance to consider aspects around patient related outcome, such as quality of life.
