All cancer types: ICD-10 C00-C97 excl C44

Incidence:	Annual incidence[285KB] (1980 onwards) by age, sex, network and health board
	Five year summary of incidence[49KB] by age, sex, network and health board
Mortality:	Annual mortality[275KB] (1980 onwards) by age, sex, network and health board
	Five year summary of mortality[48KB] by age, sex, network and health board
Survival:	Survival[34KB] (by age and sex) at 1, 3, 5 & 10 years after diagnosis (1980 onwards)
	Survival summary [450KB] and interpretation at 1 & 5 years after diagnosis (1980 onwards)
Prevalence:	Cancer prevalence[17KB]

Change in incidence from 1995 to 2005	-9.4%	-2.4%
Change in mortality from 1996 to 2006	-12.1%	-5.5%
1 year relative survival for patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2004	60.5%	66.8%
5 year relative survival for patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2004	42.2%	51.0%

Notes:
1. These data relate to all cases of cancer registered in Scotland, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer. Data on non-melanoma skin cancer are excluded because the recording of this type of cancer is likely to be less complete and accurate than other cancer types (for a detailed explanation see frequently asked questions).
2. Survival figures are not age standardised.
3. Change in incidence and mortality is estimated by Poisson regression.
