Predicting Lung Cancer Survival to the Future: Population-Based Cancer Survival Modeling Study.
JMIR Public Health Surveill
May 2024
Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, with late diagnoses often resulting in poor prognosis. In response, the Lung Ambition Alliance aims to double the 5-year survival rate by 2025.
Objective: Using the Taiwan Cancer Registry, this study uses the survivorship-period-cohort model to assess the feasibility of achieving this goal by predicting future survival rates of patients with lung cancer in Taiwan.
Article Synopsis
- * It introduces a new Survivorship-Period-Cohort (SPC) model that evaluates cancer prognosis, focusing on liver cancer patients in Taiwan diagnosed from 1997 to 2016.
- * The SPC model reveals trends in relative survival rates, showing improved 5-year survival for patients diagnosed after 2003, and recommends its use for real-time monitoring and future predictions in cancer prognosis.
