This data shows premature deaths (Age under 75) from all Cancers, numbers and rates by gender, as 3-year moving-averages. Cancers are a major cause of premature deaths. Inequalities exist in cancer rates between the most deprived areas and the most affluent areas. Directly Age-Standardised Rates (DASR) are shown in the data (where numbers are sufficient) so that death rates can be directly compared between areas. The DASR calculation applies Age-specific rates to a Standard (European) population to cancel out possible effects on crude rates due to different age structures among populations, thus enabling direct comparisons of rates. A limitation on using mortalities as a proxy for prevalence of health conditions is that mortalities may give an incomplete view of health conditions in an area, as ill-health might not lead to premature death. Data source: Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), indicator ID 40501, E05a. This data is updated annually.
Dataset for Deaths from All Cancers age under 75. Data for 2010-2012 and onwards has been Directly Age-Standardised to the 2013 European Standard Population. This means earlier data would not be comparable (because that was Standardised to the earlier 1976 version of European Standard Population).
Metadata for Deaths from All Cancers dataset. This file contains Metadata (information about a dataset). It shows the schema for dataset fields and their contents. This file should be used along with the dataset, to aid correct interpretation of the data.
