Progress in cancer survival, mortality, and incidence in seven high-income countries 1995–2014 (ICBP SURVMARK-2): a population-based study
This population-based study of cancer survival in seven countries provides information from 4 million patients comparing survival at 1 and 5 years post diagnosis. During the period 1995 to 2014 improved survival was recorded for all cancer types, especially in younger patients.
Comparison between different countries showed Australia to be the country with the best survival for every cancer type other than ovary and lung, for which Australia had the second best outcomes.
Cancer incidence
The annual review of cancer incidence in Australia shows an increase greater in remote areas, for indigenous Australians and those of lower socio-economic status.
However, the age-standardised incidence of ovarian cancer has decreased from 12.4/100,000 in 1982 to 9.8/100,000 now.
