Notes:
1. Over the period 1996 to 1999 there was a marked reduction in the numbers of registrations of invasive bladder cancer. This is likely to reflect a change in coding practice recommended by the European Network of Cancer Registries (ENCR) and subsequently by the United Kingdom Association of cancer registries (UKACR) whereby some cases classified and coded previously as invasive bladder cancer (ICD-10 C67) are now coded as carcinoma in situ of the bladder (D09.0) or neoplasms of uncertain or unknown behaviour of the bladder (D41.4).
2. Survival figures are not age standardised.
3. Change in incidence and mortality is estimated by Poisson regression.
