Long-term progress in cancer treatment can be assessed meaningfully with high-quality data from a cancer registry. This monograph examines changes in cancer survival by decade over a 60-year period at a single institution. However, these statistical assessments are subject to several difficulties in interpretation. These potential biases notwithstanding, measurements based on high-quality data that are collected in a standard way over a long period can add to our compendium of knowledge.
