Cancer incidence and mortality in France over the period Rev Epidemiol Sante Publique 2003; (51): Evolution de l'incidence et de la mortalité par cancer en France de 1978 à INVS, Ref Type: Serial (Book,Monograph) 2.Estimation of relative survival in cancer patients The FRANCIM population based study -1- Incidence / Prévalence /Survie Approche épidémiologique

9 Statistical methods Excess rate model (1) For each subject, mortality rate at time t has two components Z= vector of explanatory covariates Potentially: sex, département, year of diagnosis, age at diagnosis…. Z 1 = vector of the 3 covariates defining expected mortality rates: sex, département,year of death x = age at diagnosis Calculated for age at exit (=x+t)

10 Excess Rate model (2) with f(t) being constant within intervals defined a priori A smoothed parametric function Excess rate 10 intervals 10 parameters Cubic spline with 1 knot 5 parameters

11 Estimating the model parameters Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) If f(t) is a step function: The survival likelihood is equal to a Poisson likelihood, up to a constant. Making feasible the estimation of ML in the framework of generalized linear models, With any computer software where a weighted least squares is available This was implemented in Splus (Iwls)

12 If f(t) is a smoothed parametric function MLE is directly applicable: approximate c with a numerical integration method (Simpson) IWLS is not directly applicable: an « appropriate » time t i for the calculation of the likelihood has to be choosen: Time at exit if is 1 / Mid-point of the interval if is 0

14 Estimating of relative survival at fixed times ( years..) With f(t) being a smoothed parametric function on the whole follow-up time (up to 10 years) Selection of the « best » function (AIC) among: Polynomial up to cubic, cubic spline with 1 or 2 knots. Need for an « optimal » modeling of the excess rate being able to deal with sparse data (stability of estimates)

15 Estimating the proper effects of covariates Need for a multivariate use of the model With an optimal modelling of the effect of covariates Especially : age at diagnosis
