Table summary
This table displays the results of Two-, five- and ten-year age-standardized cancer prevalence proportion trends, by cancer type. The information is grouped by Cancer type appearing as row headers and is grouped by Two-year (1994 to 2008) (APC / Trend change year / APC, AAPC), Five-year (1997 to 2008) (APC / Trend change year / APC, AAPC), Ten-year (2002 to 2008)(APC / Trend change year / APC, AAPC) appearing as column headers, calculated using proportion as a unit of measure.
