Five year survival from all cancers - ICP Outcomes Framework - Birmingham and Solihull

This dataset presents information on five-year survival rates from all cancers, focusing on individuals diagnosed with invasive cancers (ICD-10 codes C00 to C97, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer C44). It provides a simplified local methodology for calculating survival outcomes, enabling analysis by ethnicity, deprivation, and within the Birmingham and Solihull (BSol) geography. While it does not replicate the national calculation, it offers valuable insights into cancer survival trends at a more granular level.

Rationale

The primary aim of this indicator is to increase five-year survival rates from all cancers. Monitoring survival over a five-year period provides a meaningful measure of cancer outcomes and the effectiveness of early diagnosis and treatment interventions.

Numerator

The numerator includes individuals who were diagnosed with a specific type of cancer and subsequently died from the same type of cancer within five years of diagnosis. Only invasive cancers (ICD-10 codes C00 to C97, excluding C44) are included.

Denominator

The denominator comprises all individuals diagnosed with an invasive cancer (ICD-10 codes C00 to C97, excluding C44) within a five-year period.

Caveats

This dataset uses a simplified methodology that does not replicate the national calculation. As a result, the values reported here may differ from nationally published figures. However, this approach allows for the inclusion of breakdowns by ethnicity, deprivation, and local geography (BSol), which are not always available in national statistics.
