| Annotation | A systematic comparative analysis of cancer survival was conducted in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, using population-based data on 20 adult cancers diagnosed between 1991 and 1999 in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland (1993-99) and the Republic of Ireland (1994-99). Despite overall improvement in cancer survival in the 1990s, there was geographic variation with generally (i) highest survival in Ireland and Northern Ireland and lowest in England and Wales, (ii) higher survival in Scotland for cancers for which early detection was in place, and (iii) lower survival in the north of England and higher in the south. These geographic variations in survival are narrower than between these countries and comparable European countries. (KJ). |
