Figure 1: Malignant Neoplasms of the Cervix uteri—Estimated Age-Specific Mortality Rates
Table 1: Malignant Neoplasms of the Cervix uteri, Estimated Incident Cases and Deaths with Age-Standardized Rates
Table 2: Malignant Neoplasms of the Cervix uteri—Age-Standardized Incidence and Mortality Rates
Table 3: Estimated Age-Adjusted Incidence Rates for Breast and Cervical Cancers |
The following points should be considered when reviewing these data: (a) Because the sources of data are continuously improving in quality and extent, estimates may not be truly comparable overtime and care should be taken when comparing these estimates with those published earlier. The observed differences may be the result of a change in the methodology and should not be interpreted as a time-trend effect. (b) These estimates are based on the most recent incidence, mortality and survival data available at the International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC), but more recent figures may be available directly from local sources. |
