A. Scatterplots of the observed years of lost life. The lines are the expected remnant life of an age and sex matched Danish standard population, males: solid lines, females: dashed lines.

Fig. 3B and C. The differences of life expectancy in patients ≥75 years with adenocarcinoma (dashed lines) and a sex- and age matched standard population (solid lines). The average expected years of lost lives in patients with adenocarcinoma is the difference between the area under the curves (AUC) of the reference groups and the survival curves of the patients. AUC males 4.2 years, females 4.9 years.
