Summary

Title

(B3) Incidence of skin cancer (ICD 172, 173)

NDAD reference

CRDA/24/DS/1992/5/28

Scope & content

The following text has been taken from the 'Data Definition and User Guide' for this year (see the Dataset Documentation Catalogue).

Target number

Target

To halt the year-on-year increase in the incidence of skin cancer by the year 2005.

Indicator title

Incidence of skin cancer

Definition

The directly age-standardised registration rate for the following cancers:

CANCER	ICD
All skin cancers	172-173
Malignant melanoma	172
Other skin cancers	173

Rates are calculated for persons of all ages resident in each area.

Period covered

Cancers registered in 1985-87

Areas covered

England and Wales, England, Regional and Family Health Services Authorities

Source

Each Regional Health Authority maintains a register of all cancers diagnosed. These registers are brought together into a national cancer registration scheme by OPCS. The data presented here are from the national register and relate to the District Health Authority of residence of cancer patients.

Method

A general description of the calculation of directly age-standardised registration rates presented in this data set is given in Appendix 2. The age groups used in the calculation of this indicator were 0-4, 5-9, ...) 80-84, 85+.

The population figures used are the OPCS estimates of mid-year populations. These population estimates are based on the 1981 census) with allowance for subsequent changes (ageing, births, deaths and estimated migration).

Figures presented for each area are the age-standardised rate, the number of registrations in 1985-87, and an approximate 95% confidence interval for the rate (see Appendix 2 for the method of calculation). These figures are presented separately for males, females and persons.

Comments

Data on cancer registrations are available from the Regional Cancer Registries. Some regional registries may have updated their records since submitting them to the national register at OPCS. Queries about the figures for individual regions should be directed to the appropriate Regional Cancer Registries.

This indicator is not available for Family Health Services Authorities.
