Footnotes:

AJCC stage (5th edition) is used here.

Patients with unspecified nodal status (N category) or distant metastatic status (M category) have been assumed to be N0 and M0, respectively.

This may result in some underestimation of survival for Stage I-III cases (particularly in older age-groups).

Cases with unspecified T category are left unstaged unless N & M categories are sufficient to allow staging.

# Age-standardized figures use the standard patient population proposed for the relevant cancer by:

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

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.
