Comparison of rates referring to different time periods or different geographical areas is only possible after considering the differences in the age structure of the underlying populations. The age-standardisation allows the comparison of the rates that are arithmetically adjusted to have the same age structure of the standard population. The standard population used in the ECIS are the following old European Standard Population, new European Standard Population, and World Standard Population. can be computed using the World Standard Population, the old European Standard Population, or the new European Standard Population.

Age-specific {measure} by diagnostic group and subgroup - summary
HOW TO READ AND USE THIS TABLE
The table presents data on cancer incidenceIncidence is the number of new cases arising in a given period in a specified population. This information is collected routinely by cancer registries. It can be expressed as an absolute number of cases per year or as a rate per 100,000 persons per year (see age-specific rate and rate above). The rate provides an approximation of the average risk of developing a cancer in a population for the time period of reference. by diagnostic subgroup, for the selected region, diagnostic group, sex and time period. The displayed statistics are number of cases, percentages, age-specific rateAn age-specific rate is the incidence or mortality rate for a specified age group, in which the numerator and denominator refer to the same age group; it is expressed as the number of new cancer cases or deaths per 100,000 population at risk. Five-year age categories are normally used (highest group 85+).s (missing only if we decide to display this table).
The table can be sorted according to each column field in ascending or descending order by clicking on the corresponding arrows, and it can be exported in excel format.

The displayed statistics are crudeThe crude rate is the ratio of the number of new cases or deaths in a specified population and time period to the size of the population at risk during the same time period. Incidence and mortality rate are usually presented as an annual rate per 100,000 persons at risk. rateThe crude rate is the ratio of the number of new cases or deaths in a specified population and time period to the size of the population at risk during the same time period.
