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.

This rather novel approach offers a more intuitive understanding of the underlying dynamics, enabling readers to better understand whether period- or cohort-effects were instrumental for the development of mortality in a pa

Seasonality of Causes of Death,istics allow an analysis how seasonality has changed over age and time. Using a two-dimensional decomposition and smoothing approach, we show how the amplitude and the phase of selected causes of death have developed since the late 1950s.

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.

The latter is used to illustrate the dynamics of cancer survival.
