Introduction

An introduction to the Complete Prevalence application.

ComPrev software calculates complete prevalence estimates, based on limited-duration prevalence statistics calculated on SEER cancer data. You can also import your own limited-duration prevalence data in certain circumstances. Complete Prevalence represents the proportion/number of people alive on a certain day who previously had a diagnosis of the disease, regardless of how long ago the cancer was diagnosed. A patient is still considered prevalent regardless of whether they are currently under treatment or considered cured. Limited-Duration Prevalence (LDP) represents the number of people alive on a certain day who had a diagnosis of the disease within the past x years.
