Geographical, racial and socio-economic variation in life expectancy in the US and their impact on cancer relative survival

Abstract

The use of these new socio-economic life tables (County SES-LT) can provide more accurate estimates of relative survival, improve comparisons of relative survival among registries, better illustrate disparities and cancer control efforts, and should be used as default for cancer relative survival using U.S. data.
