---

This major study is conducted on intervals of approximately 5 years. The report produced in 2007 estimates cancer survival for Victorians in 2004 for all cancer and 34 of the most common cancer types. It includes analysis of survival for each cancer by year of diagnosis, sex and age at diagnosis and, for some cancers, more detailed analysis by tumour site and morphology.

For the first time we have included survival estimates for residents of metropolitan Melbourne and the rest of Victoria and, for the ten most common cancers, by Department of Human Services Integrated Cancer Services regions.

We believe that Cancer Survival in Victoria is an important reference for those interested in the health of Victorians.
