Letter from Tim Holt to Mr. Paul Marsden, dated 14 April 1999:
As Director of the Office for National Statistics (ONS), I have been asked to reply to your recent parliamentary question on cancer survival rates.
Survival rates in England and Wales were most recently published in ONS Monitor MBI 98/1, for cancers diagnosed in 1981 and 1989, followed up to the end of 1994. The relative survival rates at one-and five-years after diagnosis for all cancers as shown in this publication are given in the table below. This publication, which is available in the House of Commons Library, also presents survival rates for the major types of cancer in men and women.
One and five-year relative survival (%), all cancers diagnosed in 1981 and 1989, England and Wales One-year survival Five-year survival 1981 1989 1981 1989 Males aged 0–84 37.0 44.3 19.5 24.7 Females aged 0–84 50.3 56.3 31.7 37.5
