A recent analysis of epidemiological data from the Nordic Cancer Registries revealed that the prognosis of several groups of cancer patients in Denmark is inferior to that of the other countries. These differences have evolved during the last 20-30 years. The prognosis of cancer patients in the Nordic countries is reasonably good compared to other European countries and to the black community in the United States while the white community in the US has a better prognosis with regard to most of the cancer diseases. It is speculated that these differences reflect differences in resources allocated to cancer treatment.
最近对北欧癌症登记处的流行病学数据进行的分析显示，丹麦几组癌症患者的预后比其他国家差。这些差异在过去20至30年中逐渐显现。与其他欧洲国家以及美国黑人社区相比，北欧国家癌症患者的预后相当不错，而美国白人社区在大多数癌症疾病方面的预后更好。据推测，这些差异反映了在癌症治疗资源分配上的不同。
