Three-Year Averages The statistics in this report, including the number of cases, number of deaths, age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) are presented as threeyear averages. Averages are used to smooth out year-to-year fluctuations so that the underlying trend may be more easily observed. This smoothing of trends is especially important when the number of cancer cases per year is relatively small. Three-year averages also more accurately reflect the situation in RHAs, especially the smaller ones, where year-to-year variability can be quite large. To calculate a three-year average for the number of events, the annual numbers are summed for three years and divided by three.

The three-year averages for age-specific rates are calculated using the number of events occurring in three years and dividing by the total population in the age range for the three years of interest. ASIRs and ASMRs are then calculated from the age-specific rates.

Notes: Three-year moving averages are age-standardized to the 1991 Canadian population. For comparative purposes, age-standardized incidence rates for all of Canada are included. While the most current Alberta data extends to 2003 (shown in the 2002 average), the most recent Canadian data only extends to 2002 (shown in the 2001 average). Please note that some graphs may not include Canadian rates as some national rates were not available from Canadian Cancer Statistics: 2006, Canadian Cancer Society.

Average Number of New Cases and Deaths: In the body of this report, the average number of new cases and deaths are presented as threeyear averages.
