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. |

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. |
