Table summary
This table displays the results of Age-specific predicted five-year relative survival ratios (RSRs) for women and percentage-unit superiority of estimates to corresponding estimates for men. The information is grouped by Cancer (appearing as row headers), Age group (years), 15 to 44, 45 to 54, 55 to 64, 65 to 74, 75 to 99, Women (%), Women - Men, % units and 95% confidence interval, calculated using from and to units of measure (appearing as column headers).
