Note that statistics in the text are most often for the United States. Breast, lung, colon, and prostate are the most common cancers in the United States, in the United Kingdom, and worldwide. While cancer-related statistics are often roughly the same in the United Kingdom as in the United States, incidence and mortality rates vary, medical systems and treatment protocols vary from country to country, and similar statistics are not necessarily determined in the same ways. Pancreatic cancer in the United Kingdom has an overall 5 percent, five-year survival rate, for instance, which is a few percentage points lower than in the United States, but there exists “no UKwide statistics for pancreatic cancer survival by stage,” as there does in the United States. “Survival Statistics for Pancreatic Cancer,” Cancer Research UK, https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsregistrationsummarytables/2015.

In addition to how I discuss social identity and selfcategorization theories here, scholars are exploring ways in which these dynamics affect patient care. For instance, oncologists may use social identity to stereotype a patient in ways detrimental to positive outcomes.
