Survival rates are not readily available in a national dataset at PCT level due to the
relatively small numbers. However, the Northern and Yorkshire Cancer Registry and
Information Service has provided this information for Hull. Table 269 gives the five-year
crude survival and relative survival rates for breast cancer for the diagnosed cases
within the periods 1998-2002 and 2000-2002. The crude rate is simply the percentage
of women who were diagnosed with breast cancer who survived to five years. The
relative survival rates are adjusted to take into account that in a cohort of women of
similar age some women would have died of other causes over a five year period, so it
reflects the relative survival rate for women diagnosed with breast cancer relative to the
general population. The relative survival rate for the Humber and Yorkshire Coast
Network given in Table 240 is 80% (95% CI 78% to 82%) for breast cancer that was
diagnosed during 1995-1999. Therefore, the survival rates for Hull females is higher for
cases diagnosed during 1998-2002 and diagnosed during 2000-2002. As a number of
new drug treatments are currently available for breast cancer and changes in treatment
may have occurred between 1995-1999 and 1998-2002 / 2000-2002, it is difficult to
ascertain any difference in breast cancer five-year survival rates between Hull and the
Network.
