This is a list of countries by quality of healthcare as published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)[1]
The list includes 7 types of cancer along with strokes and heart attacks.
The 5-year observed survival rate refers to the percentage of patients who live at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer. Many of these patients live much longer than five years after diagnosis.
5-yearsurvival rate is measured from the time of diagnosis, it is not the same as Life expectancy. More aggressive screening methods will cause 5-yearsurvival rate to increase because people are diagnosed earlier, this does not mean they live longer. This phenomenon is called Lead-Time Bias.
