Methods of estimation (summary)

Incidence:
Local incidence data and national mortality data: incidence was estimated from national mortality by modelling, using incidence mortality ratios derived from recorded data in local cancer registries in neighbouring countries .

Mortality:
Sample mortality data: estimated national mortality for 2008 for "all cancers" (WHO) was partitioned by site and age using the sample mortality data.

Glossary

Age-standardised rate (W):
A rate is the number of new cases or deaths per 100 000 persons per year. An age-standardised rate is the rate that a population would have if it had a standard age structure. Standardization is necessary when comparing several populations that differ with respect to age because age has a powerful influence on the risk of cancer.

Risk of getting or dying from the disease before age 75 (%):
The probability or risk of individuals getting/dying from cancer. It is expressed as the number of new born children (out of 100) who would be expected to develop/die from cancer before the age of 75 if they had cancer rates (in the absence of other causes of death).
