Department head Mette Keis Jepsen said the figures do not reveal what COVID-19 has meant for cancer treatment, but the chances of a cancer patient surviving a year after being diagnosed have not been affected.
Here’s a breakdown of the percentage of cancer patients who have survived 1 year post-diagnosis:
- 2019 – 2021: 84% women, 83% men
- 2016 – 2018: 83% women; 82% men
- 2007 – 2009: 75% across all genders
