%MC = percentage microscopically confirmed
%DCO = percentage registered by death certificate only
I:M = age-standardized cancer incidence to mortality rate ratio
I1 = percentage case completeness indicator derived using 2003 to 2007 cancer incidence and mortality data from best-performing provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island), and a region-specific mortality rate
I2 = percentage case completeness indicator derived using 2003 to 2007 cancer incidence data from best-performing provinces and Canadian mortality data, and an adjusted region-specific mortality rate
X suppressed to meet confidentiality requirements of Statistics Act
Note: I1 and I2 are boldface when less than 90% (potential incomplete case ascertainment).
