Implication

This article quantifies improved survival rates in childhood cancer survivors, suggesting positive trends for future care.

Key Points

  • To quantify survival and mortality risks among childhood cancer survivors over time.
  • Analyzed SEER program data from 1975 to 2020 on childhood cancer survivors.
  • Measured overall improvement in 5-year relative survival and changes in standardized mortality ratio.
  • Evaluated survival rates for specific cancers post-5-year diagnosis.
  • Overall improvement in 5-year relative survival seen between 1975 and 2020.
  • Decline in standardized mortality ratio in childhood cancer survivors.
  • 5-year relative survival rates improved for lymphoid leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and CNS tumors among survivors.
