Summary 

The 2008 report on cancer statistics from the New South Wales Central Cancer Registry provides population-based incidence and mortality data. Survival data for select cancers are also provided. Data in the tables are broken down by age and sex, and the cancers are coded in ICD-10. For each cancer, 2008 data are provided on number and percentage of new cancer cases; age-specific incidence rates; age-standardized cancer incidence, crude, and cumulative incidence rates; cancer death numbers and percentage; age specific mortality rates; and age standardized mortality, crude, and cumulative mortality rates. Aside from data for 2008, the report provides historical data going back to 1972.
