dc.description.abstractBackground—In 2015, the second cycle of the CONCORD programme established global surveillance of cancer survival, as a metric of the effectiveness of health systems and to inform global policy on cancer control. Methods—CONCORD-3 updates the world-wide surveillance of cancer survival to 2014, with individual data for 37.5 million patients diagnosed with cancer during the 15-year period 2000–2014. Data were provided by 322 population-based cancer registries in 71 countries and territories, of which 47 provided data with 100% population coverage. The study includes 18 cancers or groups of cancers: oesophagus, stomach, colon, rectum, liver, pancreas, lung, breast (women), cervix, ovary, prostate and melanoma of the skin in adults, and brain tumours, leukaemias and lymphomas in both adults and children. Standardised quality control procedures were applied; errors were rectified by the registry concerned. We estimated five-year net survival. Estimates were age-standardised with the International Cancer Survival Standard weights. Findings—For most cancers, five-year net survival remains among the highest in the world in the US and Canada, in Australia and New Zealand, and in Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. For many cancers, Denmark is closing the survival gap with the other Nordic countries. Survival trends are generally increasing, even for some of the more lethal cancers: in some countries, survival has increased by up to 5% for cancers of the liver, pancreas and lung. For women diagnosed during 2010–2014, the predicted five-year survival for breast cancer is now close to 90% in the US and in Australia, but international differences remain very wide, with levels as low as 40% in South Africa. For gastrointestinal cancers, the highest levels of five-year survival are seen in South-East Asia, in Korea for cancers of the stomach (69%), colon (72%) and rectum (71%), in Japan for oesophageal cancer (36%) and in Taiwan for liver cancer (28%). By contrast, in the same world region, survival is generally lower than elsewhere for melanoma of the skin (60% in Korea, 52% in Taiwan, 50% in China), and for both lymphoid malignancies (53% in Korea, 51% in Taiwan, 38% in China) and myeloid malignancies (46% in Korea, 33% in Taiwan, 25% in China). For children diagnosed during 2010–2014, five-year survival for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia ranged from 66% in Thailand to 95% in Finland. Five-year survival from brain tumours in children is higher than for adults, and the global range is very wide (from 45% in Thailand to 80% in Sweden and Denmark). Interpretation—The CONCORD programme enables timely comparisons of the overall effectiveness of health systems in providing care for 18 cancers that collectively represent 75% of all cancers diagnosed world-wide every year. It contributes to the evidence base for global policy on cancer control. From 2017, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development will use findings from the CONCORD programme as the official benchmark of cancer survival, among their indicators of the quality of health care in 48 countries world-wide. It is crucial for governments to recognise population-based cancer registries as key policy tools that can be used to evaluate both the impact of cancer prevention strategies and the effectiveness of health systems for all patients diagnosed with cancer
