“…Computation was performed in Stata Version 9 using procedure STRS [15]. Relative survival rates, derived as the ratio of absolute survival rates in the study population divided by the expected survival rates of subjects of the corresponding age and gender in the general population [16], reflect the ''net survival'' related to the diagnosis of interest [17]. To examine the impact of alcohol abuse and diabetes on progression of chronic hepatitis C a v 2 -test was used to compare the number of patients with fibrosis stage F1/2 versus those with fibrosis stage F3/4 and hepatocellular carcinoma.…”

“…In contrast to these studies, a small number of authors have found no significant correlation between tumour histology and prognosis (Overholt and Bougas, 1956;Ederer and Mersheimer, 1962).…”

The differences in microscopic appearance which characterize the main histological types of lung cancer suggest associated differences in biological behaviour. For example, their growth rates might be expected to increase as the degree of cell differentiation decreases, in which case the least differentiated tumours would be the most malignant.One method of assessing the relative behaviour of different types of tumour is by studying the survival rates of untreated patients in whom they occur. However, among untreated patients with lung cancer the course of the disease is so short that survival differences between the histological types are small. A more useful index of relative biological behaviour is provided by comparative survival rates after treatment. Many papers have been written about this, mainly on the relation between tumour histology and survival after surgery, and these have been reviewed by Bignall (1958). From the data included in this review, and from other more recent publications, several apparent associations emerge.

“…Some authors have reported that the survival of females with lung carcinomas are higher than the survival for males (Ederer and Mersheimer, 1962;Ashley and Davies, 1969;Mitsudomi et al 1989). In these reports, not only adenocarcinomas but also other non-small cell lung carcinomas were discussed and cases with lymph node metastases were also included.…”

“…Women with lung cancer have also been reported to have a higher survival than men with lung cancer (Ederer and Mersheimer, 1962;Ashley and Davies, 1969;Mitsudomi et al 1989). Age-adjusted mortality rates from lung cancer in Japanese women are now steady, though the rate will probably increase due to an increase in the percentage of smokers among women in the 20 to 29 year-old age group (Wynder et al 1991).…”
