  1. Sponsored by Powered by ANCR NORDCAN version 2.3 A PC based program for presentation of regional and national cancer incidence and mortality in the Nordic countries. Present facilities

  2. Reference Gerda Engholm, Hans H. Storm, Jacques Ferlay, Niels Christensen, Freddie Bray, Elínborg Ólafsdóttir, Eero Pukkala, Åsa Klint (2008). NORDCAN: Cancer Incidence and Mortality in the Nordic Countries. Version 2.3. Danish Cancer Society.

  3. Authors/contact persons • Database and help file: Jacques Ferlay, IARC • Sekretariat: Gerda Engholm, Hans Storm, Niels Christensen • Denmark: Marianne Rasmussen • Finland: Eero Pukkala • Iceland: Elinborg Ólafsdóttir • Norway: Freddie Bray • Sweden: Åsa Klint

  4. Variables • 41 diagnose groups coded according to common international rules • Gender • The 5 countries can be divided into counties (amt,fylke, län), total 81 regions • New geographical regions combining counties can be formed • 5 year age groups 0-4,…,85+ • Single years from 1974 to 2003

  5. Graphs • Bar charts • Maps - all Nordic countries or one country • Line-charts of age-specific curves, trends in summary measures and trends by age or by birth cohorts • Pie charts for the 5-10 most common diagnosis • Population pyramids

  6. Tables • Summary by sex, age, and period • Age specific by sex and period • User defined reports • Summary tables, all regions for one cancer or all cancers for one region • Age specific tables, all regions for one cancer or all cancers for one region

  7. Export facilities • Graphs can be edited – font size, colour, age interval, log-scale • Graphs can be printed or copied to i.e Powerpoint, Word, or saved in graphic files • Tables can be printed or saved for later use in i.e. Excel • Datasets containing numbers and risk time can be saved for statistical analysis in other programs (file -> export)

  29. Help-function, registration+homepages hyperlinks

  30. Comparable cancer data in the Nordic countries? • Sources of registration differ • Different classification systems between countries and over time • Even ICD7 codes vary between countries • Variation in included tumours • Non-melanoma skin cancer registration differ between countries

  31. NORDCAN entities • 41 diagnose groups - international dataset • The incidence data were first recoded to ICD-O-3 and ICD-10 and then converted into the NORDCAN entities • The mortality data were converted from various ICD systems (ICD-7, 8, 9 eller 10) • Data are thus comparable between countries and periods, but might deviate a little from officially published data • New groups can be formed by combinations
