Table 1. Age-standardized incidence rates and 5-years observed and relative survival for the 15 most common cancers and all sites combined among persons aged above 20 diagnosed in Denmark 1987–1991 and 2005–2009.
Figure 1. 5-year survival in patients with cancer of the breast, prostate, lung, colon and bladder diagnosed from 1987 to 2009 and corresponding 5-year survival in cancer-free matched controls by 1 (red-dotted line), 3 (blue-dashed line) and 5 (black line) income quintile, Denmark 1987–2013. Upper three lines reflect survival in cancer-free matched controls and lower three lines survival in cancer patients. Please note that y-axes differ by cancer site.
Figure 2. Differences in 5-year relative survival between high (5 quintile) and low income (1 quintile) patients in %-units for the 15 most common cancer sites and all cancer combined diagnosed 1987–1991 vs. 2005–2009, respectively.
Table 2. 5-year relative survival (proportion) among patients with highest income (5th quintile) and the difference in 5-year relative survival between patients in 5th quintile and in 1st quintile of income (%-units) for the 15 most common cancers and all sites combined, Denmark 1987–1991 and 2005–2009.
Table 3. Number of cancer-related early deaths (<5 years) and estimated increase in number and proportion of 5-year survivors among cancer patients diagnosed in Denmark 2005–2009, had patients in income quintile 1–4 had the same 5-year relative survival as patients in income quintile 5.
