Table summary
This table displays the results of Predicted relative survival ratios (RSR) derived using 2005-2007 life tables and positive bias introduced by using historical life tables to derive expected survival. The information is grouped by Cancer (appearing as row headers), RSR (%) derived using 2005-2007 life tables, Positive absolute bias introduced by using historical life tables (% units), 2000-2002 versus 2005-2007 and 1995-1997 versus 2005-2007 (appearing as column headers).
