Resumen:[...] even though cancer registration is constantly improving in the UK, one cannot dismiss that gaps in case ascertainment in England might be responsible for a proportion of the survival differences when comparisons are made with those countries having nearly complete case ascertainment, for example Sweden. [...] early detection could simply increase the time between diagnosis and death, without modifying the fatal outcome but increasing survival (lead-time bias).
