Predicting the lung cancer burden: accounting for selection of the patients with respect to general population mortality

Incidence, survival, prevalence and mortality are the elements of the cancer burden. The cancer burden is thus contributed by the same individuals from the diagnosis of cancer (incidence) until possible death from cancer (mortality). It would therefore be natural that predictions of future cancer burden, those needed by health administration, for example, could be based on individual data. This paper presents a new model for estimating future...
