| Abstract: | This report presents summary statistics on cancer
incidence and mortality for the population of the
Northern Territory (NT) for the period 1991−2001.
Incidence and mortality statistics are presented
separately for Indigenous and non-Indigenous
people because cancer incidence and mortality
rates are very different for Indigenous compared
with other Australians. Total Australian incidence
and mortality rates for the period 1995−2000 are
included for comparison. Incidence statistics
include all cases of cancer diagnosed in residents
of the NT, and notified to the Northern Territory
Cancer Registry (NTCR), including cases diagnosed
interstate which are notified to the NTCR by
interstate cancer registries. Mortality statistics
include all deaths of NT residents (in the NT or
interstate) who died with cancer recorded as the
underlying cause of death. |
