Long-term survival in endometrial cancer with special reference to age as a prognostic factor
Abstract:
Long-term survival was evaluated in 13 586 patients with cancer of the endometrium, constituting 97% of all cases diagnosed in Sweden 1960-1978. Survival rates corrected for the expected mortality revealed that age at diagnosis is an important predictor of prognosis, with a constant trend towards a more favourable course in younger women. Thus, the cumulative relative 15-year survival rates +/- 95% confidence limits were 90 (86.1-93.7)%, 89 (87.4-91.3)%, 72 (68.9-74.3)%, 50 (44.9-54.7)% and 32 (18.3-45.6)% at ages 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74 and 75+ years respectively. Patients younger than 55 years deviated from the general pattern by having an excellent survival and virtually no excess mortality after 7 years of observation.
