A new method for more timely monitoring of cancer patient survival was employed to assess progress in 5-year survival of breast cancer patients in Saarland, Germany, between 1980-84 and 1990-94. Five-year relative survival gradually increased from 68.8% to 73.5%. Improvements were most pronounced among age groups 50-59 and 60-69. The latter had the highest 5-year relative survival (77.1%) in 1990-94.
采用一种能更及时监测癌症患者生存率的新方法,对德国萨尔州1980 - 1984年和1990 - 1994年间乳腺癌患者的5年生存率进展进行评估。5年相对生存率从68.8%逐渐升至73.5%。50 - 59岁和60 - 69岁年龄组的改善最为显著。后者在1990 - 1994年的5年相对生存率最高(77.1%)。
