[BDSP. Notice produite par IRDES 7R0xrIqo. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Worldwide data for cancer survival are scarce. This study aimed to initiate worldwide surveillance of cancer survival by central analysis of population-based registry data, as a metric of the effectiveness of health systems, and to inform global policy on cancer control. Individual tumour records were submitted by 279 population-based cancer registries in 67 countries for 25 | 7 million adults (age 15-99 years) and 75 ? 000 children (age 0-14 years) diagnosed with cancer during 1995-2009 and followed up to Dec 31,2009, or later. This study looked at cancers of the stomach, colon, rectum, liver, lung, breast (women), cervix, ovary, and prostate in adults, and adult and childhood leukaemia. Standardised quality control procedures were applied ; errors were corrected by the registry concerned. It estimated 5-year net survival, adjusted for background mortality in every country or region by age (single year), sex, and calendar year, and by race or ethnic origin in some countries. Estimates were age-standardised with the International Cancer Survival Standard weights.
