Changing cancer survival in China during 2003-15: a pooled analysis of 17 population-based cancer registries.
(The Lancet. Global health, 2018-05)
From 2003 to 2005, standardised 5-year cancer survival in China was much lower than
in developed countries and varied substantially by geographical area. Monitoring population-level
cancer survival is crucial to the understanding ...
