No comparative estimate has been made. The one-year net survival estimates with 95% confidence intervals for adults (aged 15 years old to 99 years old) diagnosed between 2016 and 2020, followed up in 2021 in England was 27.7%, and the five year net survival estimates with 95% confidence intervals for adults (aged 15 years old to 99 years old) diagnosed between 2016 and 2020, followed up in 2021 in England was 8.3%.
