Table summary
This table displays the results of Change in life expectancy at birth from 2000-2002 to 2005-2007 and extent of bias in predicted five-year relative survival ratios (RSR) for 2005-2007 introduced by using 2000-2002 life tables to derive expected survival. The information is grouped by Province (appearing as row headers), Change in life expectancy (years), Absolute bias introduced by using 2000-2002 life tables (% units), All cancers, Female breast cancer and Prostate cancer (appearing as column headers).

Note: Positive value indicates that using 2000-2002 rather than 2005-2007 life tables to derive expected survival resulted in higher RSR.
