Figure 2 The 1- and 3-year relative survival in 5 race/ethnic groups during 1987–2001. Relative survival is calculated as the ratio of the observed survival to the expected survival for a group of people in a general population that is similar to that of the patient group with respect to race, sex, age, and calendar period of observation.
