* The source adds that the data for these analyses was extracted from the cancer registration database maintained by the National Disease Registration Service (NDRS) on October 6, 2022. It can take up to five years for cancer registrations in England to reach full completeness due to ongoing accrual of late registrations. While further changes may occur after five years as a result of later diagnostic testing, such late changes are uncommon.
Directly age- standardized using the 2013 update of the European standard population with an upper age band of 90+ (see methods for rates). Therefore, caution should be taken if comparing these rates to rates in previous releases.
