Footnote: aAdjusted models from multiple imputation models. Models adjusted for the following

Leukaemia – Diagnostic subgroup, white cell count, age, treatment, relapse, sex, diagnosis year, ethnicity and Townsend area deprivation

Lymphoma – Diagnostic subgroup, stage, age, treatment, relapse, sex, diagnosis year, ethnicity and Townsend area deprivation

CNS tumours – Diagnostic subgroup, grade, age, treatment, relapse, sex, diagnosis year, ethnicity and Townsend area deprivation

Germ cell tumours – Diagnostic subgroup, stage, age, relapse, sex, diagnosis year, ethnicity and Townsend area deprivation (not adjusted for treatment due to collinearity)

Soft tissue sarcomas – Diagnostic subgroup, age, treatment, relapse, sex, diagnosis year, ethnicity and Townsend area deprivation

Bone tumours – Diagnostic subgroup, primary site, age, treatment, relapse, sex, diagnosis year, ethnicity and Townsend area deprivation

Level of treatment at PTC “Some” ranges from 20% to 85% of all treatments received at PTC
