This option presents tables (as published in the book, in PDF format) showing the percentage of cases microscopically verified (MV%), the percentage of cases registered from a death certificate only (DCO%), the proportion of unknown basis of diagnosis (UB%) 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:

99 = 99% or more
Blank= MV or DCO not included for this site
0 = Cases registered but no morphologically 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
