All cancer types are coded using the following classification codes:

Mortality: ICD-10 C00-C97 excl C44.

Summary statistics for all cancers

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.
