Five-year relative survival by stage of breast and colon cancers in Italy

Lucia Mangone et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the changes in 5-year relative survival of breast and colorectal cancer patients in a northern Italian province from 2000 to 2012, showing an overall stable increase in 5-year relative survival for breast cancer but no improvement for colorectal cancer survival in terms of stage and period.
