abstract = {Liver cancer (LC) and pancreatic cancer (PC) are often
diagnosed at an advanced stage resulting in high mortality.
High-quality survival data are rarely available for trend
analyses over a long period.The Danish, Finnish, Norwegian,
and Swedish cancer data were accessed at the NORDCAN
database. We analysed relative 1- and 5-year survival trends
in LC and PC between years 1970 and 2019.Relative 1-year
survival in LC for Nordic men and women was about $10\%$ in
the period between 1970 and 1974, and it increased
moderately by year 2000 and steeply thereafter, eventually
reaching $40-50\%.$ The patterns in 5-year survival were
similar, but after the year 2000, survival in Norway and
Sweden increased steeply to $23\%,$ whereas survival in
Denmark and Finland lagged behind, reaching $10\%$ to
$15\%.$ The patterns for PC also showed rapid improvement
after the year 2000, with 1-year survival reaching $30\%$ to
$40\%$ and 5-year survival reaching $10\%$ for Finland and
$15\%$ for Norway and Sweden. Survival was best for patients
diagnosed before age 50 years, and it was worst for older
patients. For both cancers the difference between 1- and
5-year survival increased with time.Survival in LC and PC
improved first modestly and then steeply over the 50-year
period covered. The increase in 5-year survival was less
than that of 1-year survival. The survival gains were most
likely the result of earlier diagnosis, improved treatment,
and better organised supportive care. The challenges are to
keep up these positive trends, to extend survival benefits
past Year 1, and to obtain similar results in elderly
patients. Primary prevention through avoidance of risk
factors would reduce case numbers.Liver and pancreatic
cancers are among the most lethal of all cancers. In 50
years, survival in these cancers has slowly improved, and in
the past 20 years, the development has been increasingly
favourable. Widespread adoption of healthy lifestyles will
be key to reducing the risk of these cancers.},
