Survival of childhood and adolescent/young adult (AYA) cancer patients in Ireland during 1994 –2013: comparisons by age

ConclusionsReasons for age-related survival differences, and differences in time-trend by age group, are not clear. The significant narrowing of survival differences by age in more recent years for lymphoid leukaemias reflects a more marked recent increase in survival among AYA. More work is required to explain and improve other age-related survival differences.
