Prevalence ranged from 3% with lung 31% digestive tract, basis interviews. highest 14% CI = 11–17%), measured interviews, 27% CI = 25–30%), instruments. In first year diagnosis, instruments 9% CI = 7–11%) 21% CI = 19–24%), respectively, they CI = 5–12%) 15% CI = 13–17%) ≥ 1 year diagnosis. Conclusions Pooled differed phase.
