Changes in the prevalence of comorbidity in the Australian population with cancer, 2007 –2014

Conclusion Comorbidity is more prevalent among the cancer population than the general population without cancer. The prevalence of comorbidity was fairly stable for most but not all comorbidities in the population with cancer over the eight-year study period. Further studies on the impacts of coordinated care models for the management of multi-morbidity experienced by cancer survivors that align with the ‘National Strategic Framework for Chronic Conditions’ are needed.
