Age-standardized five-year relative survival ratios, October 2011 CCR file, by sex, population aged 15 to 99, 3 years of cases, Canada and selected provinces

Table summary
This table displays the results of age-standardized five-year relative survival ratios. The information is grouped by primary site of cancer (appearing as row headers), 3 years of cases, both sexes, males, females, relative survival ratio, 95% confidence interval and low, calculated using low, high and percent units of measure (appearing as column headers).

^E use with caution Note 1. Data from Quebec have been excluded because of issues in correctly ascertaining the vital status of cases. Note 2. Ontario does not report in situ bladder cases to the Canadian Cancer Registry. Note 3. In the years under study, there was a known under reporting of cancer cases in Newfoundland and Labrador. There is likely to be some overestimation of survival for this province as the survival of such "missed" cases is generally less favourable than that of cases in the registry population. As such, survival estimates from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador should be treated with caution. Note(s): See "Data quality, concepts and methodology — Footnotes" section. Please note that CANSIM tables also provide the number of cases on which analyses were based, the number of deaths within the first five years of follow-up, as well as estimates of observed survival and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Survival estimates based on cases from individual years are available through CANSIM tables.
