title: Survival studies: Cracow Cancer Registry experience.
abstract: The experience of the Cracow Cancer Registry is presented to show how useful a population-based survival study can be. Survival rates for lung, breast, and colorectal cancer are compared over two periods of time. In addition, the survival experience of patients treated at the Oncologic Center in Cracow is compared with the U.S. SEER data.
