Footnotes:

# Age-standardized figures (presented for the more common cancers) use the standard patient population proposed for this cancer by:

Corazziari I., Quinn M. & Capocaccia R. 2004. Standard cancer patient population for age standardising survival ratios. Eur J Cancer 40: 2307-2316.

(Population weights = age 15-44 x7000, 45-54 x12000, 55-64 x23000, 65-74 x29000, 75-99 x29000)

Exclusions (as in EUROCARE):

Patients aged <15 or >99 at diagnosis; death-certificate-only (DCO) and autopsy-only cases; second or subsequent malignancies in the same patient

(or the less serious of two or more synchronously-diagnosed malignancies); in situ carcinomas and tumours of uncertain behaviour.

Cancer registration is a dynamic process and information is continually updated on our database.

 

As a result, the figures given here may not correspond exactly to those in previous reports or to those previously shown on our website.
