Unadjusted excess mortality rates for emergency (dotted), non-emergency (dashed), and all presentation (solid) routes in the periods 0–1, 1–3, 3–6, and 6–12 months after diagnosis, plotted semilogarithmically at the central point of those periods with 95% confidence intervals. Figures represent all persons diagnosed with selected cancer types in England (cervical and colorectal cancer) and the ECRIC registration area (breast, lung, and prostate cancer), 2006–2008.
