Cancer incidence and mortality data: sources and methods by country.

Incidence Method
1 National (or local with coverage greater than 50%) rates projected to 2018
2a Most recent rates from a single registry applied to 2018 population
2b Weighted/simple average of the most recent local rates applied to 2018 population
3a Estimated from national mortality estimates by modelling, using mortality: incidence ratios derived from country-specific cancer registry data
3b Estimated from national mortality estimates by modelling, using mortality: incidence ratios derived from cancer registry data in neighbouring countries
4 "All sites" estimates from neighbouring countries partitioned using frequency data
9 No data: the rates are those of neighbouring countries or registries in the same area
Mortality
1 National rates projected to 2018
2a Most recent rates from one source applied to 2018 population
2b Weighted/simple average of the most recent local rates applied to 2018 population
3 Estimated from national incidence estimates by modelling, using incidence: mortality ratios derived from cancer registry data in neighbouring countries
9 No data: the rates are those of neighbouring countries in the same area
