This option presents tables (reformatted, in PDF format) showing the percentage of cases microscopically verified (MV%), the percentage of cases registered from a death certificate only (DCO%), by site and sex, for each registry supplying the necessary data, and the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the number of deaths from a particular cancer to the number of cases registered during the same period (MI%).

Key to conventions and symbols used in the tables:

For MV (% of cases microscopically verified), a number in brackets signifies that cytological verification is excluded.
