What question did this study set out to answer?

To examine trends in net survival rates for various cancers in Japan over a 14-year period.

March 22, 2026

Trends in net survival for 1,834,894 patients with cancer from 16 population-based cancer registries in Japan, 2000–14 (CONCORD-3)

Key Points

To examine trends in net survival rates for various cancers in Japan over a 14-year period.
Analysis of data from 16 population-based cancer registries in Japan.
Focus on 1,834,894 cancer patients from 2000 to 2014.
Comparison of survival trends across different cancer types.
Significant improvement in net survival for several cancers in Japan.
Survival rates for pancreatic cancer remain notably low.
Highlighting the need for enhanced cancer control strategies.

Abstract

Net survival in Japan improved substantially for several cancers, but survival for pancreatic cancer remained low. International collaboration is crucial to accelerate the development of effective cancer control strategies.
