About

ICBP SURVMARK-2 provides data on cancer survival, incidence, and mortality within the second phase of the International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership (ICBP). ICBP is a unique and innovative global collaboration that brings together clinicians, policy-makers, researchers, and cancer data experts. It aims to measure international differences in cancer survival and, crucially, to identify factors that might be driving these differences. The ICBP SURVMARK-2 project was launched in July 2016 and is due to be completed in early 2020. The data presented are derived from 21 population-based cancer registries in seven countries (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom) and cover the period 1995–2014, with follow-up until 31 December 2015.

Disclaimer

The ICBP SURVMARK-2 online tool is based on population-based data, which present average population indicators of cancer incidence, mortality, and survival. The different statistics may be used by those who wish to obtain a clearer understanding of what different cancer survival measures mean and how survival differs across countries. However, it is important to note that patients’ individual prognosis will differ depending on other important clinical characteristics, such as the stage of the cancer at diagnosis. Patients should consult their physician for a more accurate assessment of their prognosis, because this website does not claim or attempt to provide any medical or professional advice related to individual outcomes. The ICBP SURVMARK-2 team at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC/WHO) reserves the right to update or change the information contained within this database at any time.
