Cancer Cases

Cancer incidence rate refers to the number of new cancers cases occurring in a specified population during a given year, expressed as the number of cancer cases per 100,000 population.1 

In 2018, the UK ranked 2nd amongst the 31 European countries studied for the incidence of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with 24 people in every 100,000 being diagnosed with the condition (ranging from 7 cases per 100,000 people in Romania to 26 per 100,000 people in Slovenia).

The UK's incidence rate for this cancer type was higher than the European average of 19 cases per 100,000 people.

Cancer Deaths

Cancer mortality rate refers to the number of deaths caused by cancer occurring in a specified population during a given year, expressed as the number of cancer deaths per 100,000 population.2

In 2018, the UK ranked 10th amongst the 31 European countries studied for the mortality of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with 8 in every 100,000 people dying from the condition (ranging from 4 deaths per 100,000 people in Romania to 14 per 100,000 people in Slovenia).

The UK's mortality rate for this cancer type was higher than the European average of 8 deaths per 100,000 people.

Cancer Survival

Survival refers to the percentage of people that were diagnosed with cancer in a given year and who are still alive after a certain period of time (here defined as 5 years or more after being diagnosed).3

Between 2010 and 2014, the UK ranked 13th amongst the 28 European countries studied for the 5 year survival post-diagnosis of blood cancers, with 65% of people surviving 5 years or more after being diagnosed with these cancer types (ranging from 40% survival in Romania to 72% in Switzerland).

Notes:

  • There is no country level data for these cancer types between 1995 and 1999
  • There is no European average for 5-year survival because data for Greece, Hungary and Luxembourg is lacking
  • Survival data was only collected for leukaemia, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma for all countries
  • The latest data collected by IHE was for the 2010-2014 5-year period
