I have been asked to reply.The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.Letter from Karen Dunnell, dated July 2009:"As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking how many men in each age group were (a) diagnosed with and (b) successfully treated for breast cancer in (i) Southend West constituency, (ii) Essex and (iii) England and Wales in each of the last 12 years [283717].""The latest available figures for (a) newly diagnosed cases of cancer (incidence) are for the year 2006. There were 5 newly diagnosed cases of breast cancer in males in (i) Southend West parliamentary constituency over the period 1995 to 2006. The number of cases of male breast cancer in all ages diagnosed in (ii) Essex county is shown in Table 1 for each of the last 12 years. Due to small numbers, further age and year breakdowns are not available for Southend West parliamentary constituency and Essex county.""The number of cases of male breast cancer in each age group diagnosed in (iii) England and Wales in each of the last 12 years is shown in Table 2.""It cannot be stated definitively whether a person has been (b) 'successfully treated' for breast cancer. For most cancers, but not breast, five-year survival rates are often taken to be 'cure' rates. Survival rates for men diagnosed with breast cancer are therefore not available.""Figures for Essex county do not include Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock unitary authorities."<Table width="100%" summary="" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" border="0"><thead><tr><th>Table 1: Registrations of newly diagnosed cases of male breast cancer¹: Essex county, 1995 to 2006</th></tr></thead><TR><TD></TD><TD>1995</TD><TD>1996</TD><TD>1997</TD><TD>1998</TD><TD>1999</TD><TD>2000</TD><TD>2001</TD><TD>2002</TD><TD>2003</TD><TD>2004</TD><TD>2005</TD><TD>2006</TD></TR><TR><TD>Essex county</TD><TD>9</TD><TD>7</TD><TD>7</TD><TD>9</TD><TD>6</TD><TD>6</TD><TD>7</TD><TD>5</TD><TD>6</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>6</TD><TD>12</TD></TR><tfoot><TR><td>¹ Breast cancer is coded to C50 in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10).</td></TR><TR><td>Source:</td></TR><TR><td>Office for National Statistics.</td></TR></tfoot></Table><Table width="100%" summary="" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" border="0"><thead><tr><th>Table 2: Registrations of newly diagnosed cases of male breast cancer¹ by age group: England and Wales, 1995 to 2006</th></tr></thead><TR><TD></TD><TD>1995</TD><TD>1996</TD><TD>1997</TD><TD>1998</TD><TD>1999</TD><TD>2000</TD><TD>2001</TD><TD>2002</TD><TD>2003</TD><TD>2004</TD><TD>2005</TD><TD>2006</TD></TR><TR><TD>Age group</TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD>0-14</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD></TR><TR><TD>15-19</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD></TR><TR><TD>20-24</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>2</TD></TR><TR><TD>25-29</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>0</TD></TR><TR><TD>30-34</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>3</TD></TR><TR><TD>35-39</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>0</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>3</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>1</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>3</TD></TR><TR><TD>40-44</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>3</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>3</TD><TD>6</TD><TD>3</TD><TD>2</TD><TD>4</TD><TD>6</TD><TD>8</TD><TD>7</TD><TD>6</TD></TR><TR><TD>45-49</TD><TD>7</TD><TD>11</TD><TD>9</TD><TD>5</TD><TD>6</TD><TD>9</TD><TD>7</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>9</TD><TD>9</TD><TD>7</TD><TD>11</TD></TR><TR><TD>50-54</TD><TD>14</TD><TD>12</TD><TD>18</TD><TD>22</TD><TD>18</TD><TD>16</TD><TD>15</TD><TD>15</TD><TD>21</TD><TD>10</TD><TD>13</TD><TD>14</TD></TR><TR><TD>55-59</TD><TD>15</TD><TD>21</TD><TD>18</TD><TD>19</TD><TD>23</TD><TD>21</TD><TD>27</TD><TD>19</TD><TD>30</TD><TD>24</TD><TD>31</TD><TD>28</TD></TR><TR><TD>60-64</TD><TD>27</TD><TD>17</TD><TD>26</TD><TD>29</TD><TD>36</TD><TD>26</TD><TD>26</TD><TD>34</TD><TD>43</TD><TD>32</TD><TD>25</TD><TD>36</TD></TR><TR><TD>65-69</TD><TD>30</TD><TD>31</TD><TD>42</TD><TD>48</TD><TD>39</TD><TD>27</TD><TD>32</TD><TD>34</TD><TD>36</TD><TD>39</TD><TD>28</TD><TD>33</TD></TR><TR><TD>70-74</TD><TD>48</TD><TD>40</TD><TD>48</TD><TD>42</TD><TD>44</TD><TD>27</TD><TD>56</TD><TD>47</TD><TD>35</TD><TD>36</TD><TD>48</TD><TD>51</TD></TR><TR><TD>75-79</TD><TD>43</TD><TD>41</TD><TD>28</TD><TD>38</TD><TD>50</TD><TD>52</TD><TD>30</TD><TD>46</TD><TD>56</TD><TD>47</TD><TD>27</TD><TD>42</TD></TR><TR><TD>80-84</TD><TD>22</TD><TD>22</TD><TD>21</TD><TD>38</TD><TD>34</TD><TD>23</TD><TD>28</TD><TD>27</TD><TD>41</TD><TD>43</TD><TD>24</TD><TD>40</TD></TR><TR><TD>85+</TD><TD>18</TD><TD>13</TD><TD>24</TD><TD>28</TD><TD>18</TD><TD>22</TD><TD>24</TD><TD>33</TD><TD>24</TD><TD>30</TD><TD>32</TD><TD>24</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD>England and Wales</TD><TD>232</TD><TD>215</TD><TD>240</TD><TD>274</TD><TD>278</TD><TD>229</TD><TD>253</TD><TD>274</TD><TD>306</TD><TD>286</TD><TD>247</TD><TD>293</TD></TR><tfoot><TR><td>¹ Breast cancer is coded to C50 in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10).</td></TR><TR><td>Sources:</td></TR><TR><td>Office for National Statistics; Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit.</td></TR></tfoot></Table> |
