Worldwide population-based study reveals global disparities in cancer survival, highlighting the need for benchmark indicators to improve international cancer control.

The information provided here might therefore be a useful stimulus for change. The findings should eventually facilitate joint assessment of international trends in incidence, survival, and mortality as indicators of cancer control.
