      abstract     = {Background: Survival studies in intestinal cancers have
                      generally shown favorable development, but few studies have
                      been able to pinpoint the timing of the changes in survival
                      over an extended period. Here, we compared the relative
                      survival rates for colon, rectal and small intestinal
                      cancers from Denmark (DK), Finland (FI), Norway (NO) and
                      Sweden (SE). Design: Relative 1-, 5- and 5/1-year
                      conditional survival data were obtained from the NORDCAN
                      database for the years 1971-2020. Results: The 50-year
                      survival patterns were country-specific. For colon and
                      rectal cancers, the slopes of survival curves bended upwards
                      for DK, were almost linear for NO and bended downwards for
                      FI and SE; 5-year survival was the highest in DK. Survival
                      in small intestinal cancer was initially below colon and
                      rectal cancers but in FI and NO it caught up toward the end
                      of the follow-up. Conclusions: Relative survival in
                      intestinal cancers has developed well in the Nordic
                      countries, and DK is an example of a country which in 20
                      years was able to achieve excellent survival rates in colon
                      and rectal cancers. In the other countries, the increase in
                      survival curves for colon and rectal cancer has slowed down,
                      which may be a challenge posed by metastatic cancers.},
