We compared 5-year survival probabilities of Turkish and other children in three time periods of diagnosis (1980\u201387, 1988\u201395, 1996\u20132005) using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The 5-year survival probability for all cancers among 1774 cases of Turkish descent (4.76% of all 37.259 cases) was 76.9% compared to 77.6% in the comparison group (all other cases; p = 0.15). We found no age- or sex-specific survival differences (p-values between p = 0.18 and p = 0.90). For the period 1980\u201387, the 5-year survival probability among Turkish children with lymphoid leukaemia was significantly lower (62% versus 75.8%; p &lt; 0.0001), this remains unexplained. For more recently diagnosed leukaemias, we saw no survival differences for Turkish and non-Turkish children.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our results suggest that nowadays Turkish migrant status has no bearing on the outcome of childhood cancer therapies in Germany. The inclusion of currently more than 95% of all childhood cancer cases in standardised treatment protocols is likely to contribute to this finding.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2407-8-355","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,29]],"date-time":"2008-11-29T07:13:37Z","timestamp":1227942817000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Cancer survival among children of Turkish descent in Germany 1980\u20132005: a registry-based analysis"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Claudia","family":"Spix","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jacob","family":"Spallek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Kaatsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oliver","family":"Razum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hajo","family":"Zeeb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"1293_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2183","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejca.2006.06.006","volume":"42","author":"K Pritchard-Jones","year":"2006","unstructured":"Pritchard-Jones K, Kaatsch P, Steliarova-Foucher E, Stiller CA, Coebergh JW: Cancer in children and adolescents in Europe: developments over 20 years and future challenges.
