Supplementary notes

* Information from the source: "Cancer registrations in England can take up to 5 years after the end of a given calendar year to reach 100% completeness, due to the continuing accrual of late registrations. Therefore, published figures for 2018 are likely to increase in future publications when late registrations are included. The 2018 data has been assessed as 98% complete and there are likely to be late registrations provided after this publication."

Lung cancer medical term = malignant neoplasm of trachea, bronchus and lung. C33-C34
