Net cancer survival

Net cancer survival rates (i.e. estimated survival rates as if cancer were the only possible cause of death) were calculated in a relative survival framework using a complete approach with follow-up to 5th January 2019. Results were age standardised using ICSS weights where numbers permitted. The UK and Ireland Association of Cancer Registries (UKIACR) Cancer Survival Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) v11_0 was followed, using stns in Stata 15.1.
