Indeed I had seen these figures Some remarks to ponder : - 65 relative is 56 observed - How does this population compare with the trial population, 60% of them originary from developing countries ? Perhaps black-americans OS is comparable
I have a question about the seer statistics you posted a link to a few days ago.
You seemed happy with the stats it was showing but I'm a little confused. When I look at the table (20.10, pg. 33) for Cancer of the Oral Cavity and Pharynx the 5 year survival for the most recent dates (2008-2014) say 67%. That seems extremely high and much better than our spreadsheets are predicting for.
Am I misreading this? If not, wouldn't we presume that the SOC survival rates for 3-5 years are much higher than 55%?
I'm just trying to understand and be critical here.
