Probability of surviving for five years in people diagnosed with cancer.
This item has been superseded by a newer version by one or more Registration Authorities.
Definition
Five-year relative survival proportions for people diagnosed with cancer
Indicator Summary
The probability of surviving five years in people with cancer is divided by the probability of surviving five years in the general population (matched on age, sex and calendar year).
Analysis will be undertaken using the ‘period’ method of calculation. See AIHW, CA & AACR 2008 Cancer Series no. 42. Cat. no. CAN 38.
Analysis by remoteness and SEIFA Index …
Nationally, by:
- sex
- remoteness (Australian Standard Geographical Classification Remoteness Structure)
- SEIFA Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage (IRSD) quintiles
Disaggregation by state and territory is not available. It requires calculation against jurisdictional life tables and approval from cancer registries.

- Description
The probability of surviving five years in people with cancer is divided by the probability of surviving five years in the general population (matched on age, sex and calendar year).
Analysis will be undertaken using the ‘period’ method of calculation. See AIHW, CA & AACR 2008 Cancer Series no. 42. Cat. no. CAN 38.
Analysis by remoteness and SEIFA Index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage (IRSD) is based on usual residence of person at diagnosis.
Presented as a percentage.
