Chapter Chapter 10 in Visualizing Mortality Dynamics in the Lexis Diagram, 2018, pp 123-138 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract While previous chapters focused only on the event of death, this chapter investigates the dynamics over age and time for the duration between being diagnosed with a specific cancer and death. We use five year survival as our indicator of survival in general, disease-specific survival and relative survival for selected cancer sites such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer or pancreatic cancer. The major impact of the stage of the tumor at the time of diagnosis for survival is illustrated using stage 1 and stage 4 of colorectal cancer as an example.
