An Updated Report on the Prevalence of Prior Cancer Among Persons Newly Diagnosed With Cancer in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program
Menée à partir des données des registres américains des cancers, cette étude actualise les données portant sur la prévalence d'antécédents de cancer chez les patients atteints d'un cancer diagnostiqué entre 2009 et 2013
The population of cancer survivors in the US continues to increase. Three authors of the present study reported in 2018 that 18.4% of adults newly diagnosed with cancer (2009-2013) survived a previous cancer and may therefore be excluded from cancer clinical trials. Many organizations have since recommended considering cancer survivors who are newly diagnosed with cancer for enrollment in trials. We provide an update on the prevalence of prior cancer, including differences by age, sex, and race and ethnicity.
