We calculated 5-year crude and relative survival rates, by age and sex, for patients in Alberta in whom cancer was diagnosed between 1974 and 1978. Cancers with low overall 5-year relative survival rates (less than 35%) included stomach cancer, cancer of the pancreas, lung cancer, brain cancer, multiple myeloma and myeloid leukemia. Cancers with high overall 5-year relative survival rates (more than 70%) included melanoma, breast cancer, cancer of the uterus, cancer of the bladder and Hodgkin's disease. Five-year relative survival rates were generally lower in the highest age group (75 years or more). A strong inverse relation between age and survival was noted for brain cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloid leukemia.
我们计算了1974年至1978年间在艾伯塔省被诊断出患有癌症的患者按年龄和性别的5年粗生存率和相对生存率。5年总体相对生存率较低（低于35%）的癌症包括胃癌、胰腺癌、肺癌、脑癌、多发性骨髓瘤和髓细胞白血病。5年总体相对生存率较高（超过70%）的癌症包括黑色素瘤、乳腺癌、子宫癌、膀胱癌和霍奇金病。在最高年龄组（75岁及以上）中，5年相对生存率通常较低。对于脑癌、非霍奇金淋巴瘤、霍奇金病和髓细胞白血病，年龄与生存率之间存在强烈的负相关关系。
