  1. Sponsored by Powered by ANCR NORDCAN version 2.10 A PC based program for presentation of regional and national cancer incidence and mortality in the Nordic countries. Present facilities and future plans

  2. Authors/contact persons • Database and help file: Jacques Ferlay, IARC • Sekretariat: Gerda Engholm, Hans Storm, Niels Christensen • Finland: Eero Pukkala • Iceland: Elinborg Ólafsdóttir • Norway: Frøydis Langmark • Sweden: Mats Talbäck

  3. 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 1971 to 2000

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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)

  27. Help-function

  28. Help-function, registration+homepages hyperlinks

  29. 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

  30. 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

  31. Help-function – entity description 1

  32. Help-function – entity description 2

  33. Help-function – entity description 3

  34. User defined population group 1

  35. User defined population group 2

  36. User defined cancer group 1

  37. User defined cancer group 2

  38. User defined cancer group 3

  39. IARC-products Some of the facilities in NORDCAN can also be found in products from IARC • Cancer Incidence in Five Continents • EUCAN • GLOBOCAN • Cancer mortality database (WHO)

  40. Price and size • NORDCAN can be downloaded free of charge from http://www.ancr.nu/nordcan.asp • System requirements:A 32-bit Pentium based PC running Microsoft® Windows95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP (NT, 2000, XP recommended). 64 MB RAM (128 MB recommended). 50 MB hard-disc space required.Screen resolution set by 800x600 pixels or higher • Please register for notification on updates and for documentation of the use of the product

  41. News in version 2.10 • Data for 1971-2000 • Graphs can also be saved as GIF-files • Export facility. Raw data can be exported to other program packages in an ASCII text file with a log-file decribing the format • European and Nordic 2000 standard-population for age standardization • Multiple tumors after IACR-rules • In situ breast cancers are not included

  42. Planned extensions • Prevalens • Tables of relative survival, both cohort and period for countries

  43. Net-based national versions? • Demand for internet-based versions and for versions in national languages • We have achieved funding from NCU for condensed net versions (only countries) in national languages
