This option presents tables (reformatted, in PDF format) showing the percentage of cases histologically verified (HV%), the percentage of cases registered from a death certificate only (DCO%), by site and sex, for each registry supplying the necessary data, and the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the number of deaths from a particular cancer to the number of cases registered during the same period (MI%).

Key to conventions and symbols used in the tables:
For HV and DCO
99 = 99% or more
Blank= HV or DCO not included for this site
0 = Cases registered but no histologically verified/reported on the basis of a deaths certificate only
- = no cases registered, although data for this site were submitted.
For MI
999 = 999% or more
Blank= MI not included for this site
0 = Cases registered but no death
- = no cases and no deaths registered, although data on both cases and deaths collected for this site
ncr = no cases but one or more deaths.
