Initial treatment and survival in Danish patients diagnosed with non-small-cell lung cancer (2005-2015): SCAN-LEAF study.

To describe initial treatment patterns and survival of patients diagnosed with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Denmark, before immune checkpoint inhibitor and later-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor use. Adults diagnosed with incident NSCLC (2005-2015; follow-up: 2016). Initial treatments and overall survival (OS) are reported.

Regional variation in surgery for pancreatic cancer in Denmark 2011-2015.

Introduction: Surgical treatment for pancreatic cancer carries a high risk of both morbidity and mortality. Even so, it remains the best curative treatment option. In Denmark, pancreatic surgery has been extensively centralised since the millennium, but the effect of this centralisation on patient outcome has not been evaluated.

Population density, socioeconomic environment and all-cause mortality: a multilevel survival analysis of 2.7 million individuals in Denmark.

This study examines the relative effects of population density and area-level SES on all-cause mortality in Denmark. A shared frailty model was fitted with 2.7 million persons aged 30-81 years in 2,121 parishes.

Rectal cancer survival in the Nordic countries and Scotland.

The aim of this study was to present detailed population-based survival estimates for patients with a rectal adenocarcinoma, using cancer register data supplemented with clinical data. Based on cancer register data, differences in rectal cancer survival have been reported between countries in Europe. Variation in the distribution of stage at diagnosis, initial therapy including surgical technique, and comorbidity are possible explanatory factors.
