†All metastatic cases, plus unresected cases for which no stage data were available.

*Curative intent: surgery not specified as palliative or tumour entirely resected.

‡Northern Europe: Finland; Western Europe: France (Côte d'Or) and the Netherlands (North East Netherlands); Southern Europe: Italy (Genova, Ragusa and Varese), Slovenia and Spain (Granada, Navarra and Tarragona); Eastern Europe: Estonia, Poland (Cracow and Kielce) and Slovakia.

§Data for North East Netherlands (1936) are not included in the proportion of deaths within 30 days of surgery for Western Europe because the date of surgery was not available.

¶Data for Ragusa (424) are not included in the percentages of Dukes’ stage for Southern Europe.
