Relative survival rates are suitable for the comparison of survival information between patient groups with different age structures. They are well established as a common method for analysis of cancer registry data. In the following, the method for the estimation of the relative survival and the central components of the implementation of this method with SAS are presented. Examples of results of the described program are presented and the program is compared with a selection of other technical solutions.
