One row per year, sex, measure type, and cancer type with age-specific and age-standardised incidence or mortality rates. Coverage spans 1968-2011 for 35 cancer types, with male, female, and persons breakdowns and separate incidence and mortality rows. The age columns hold rates for age bands from 0-4 through 85 plus; some age-specific values are absent where the source suppresses or omits them.
