- Abstract
We thank Chubak and Lund for their thoughtful response to our review article,1 which builds on our discussion of noncancer comparators in cancer survivorship research to include situations in which noncancer comparators are not necessary or appropriate. We thank Chubak and Lund again for their insightful response to our article, and we hope that this dialogue will be valuable for future investigators planning observational studies of cancer survivorship and aging. Cancer-free comparators would not be appropriate for this comparison because they are not eligible to receive cancer treatments, and thus their outcomes do not represent the counterfactual outcomes that the treated patients would have experienced had they not been treated.
