  1. Abbreviations: NA not applicable, N number.
  2. *Only patients not having the specific type of cancer were included for the cancer screening, e.g. stomach cancer survivors were not subject to stomach cancer screening, etc.
  3. **The overall rate of colorectal cancer screening has been calculated only among subjects of age 50 or more (N = 418). Cancer survivors who were younger than 50 were automatically classified as having completed colorectal cancer screening, because they were not recommended to be screened for colorectal cancer by current guidelines. Hence, male stomach cancer survivors younger than 50 were automatically classified as having completed all appropriate SPC screening without having received any screening exam.
  4. ***The overall rates of breast cancer screening and cervical cancer screening have been calculated only among female subjects (N = 262).
