Trends in 5-year net survival for women diagnosed with breast, cervical or ovarian cancer in Japan, 2000–14 (CONCORD-3)

Five-year net survival for women with cancers of the breast, cervix, and ovary) in Japan improved during 2000-2014, and remained at a globally high level throughout this period. These gains are probably attributable to earlier detection of breast and cervical cancers and advances in multimodal treatment for all cancers. Survival for distant-stage cervical and ovarian cancers remains a challenge, underscoring the need for enhanced screening and treatment strategies.
