b)

Includes the gallbladder and other/unspecified parts of the biliary tract.

Table 2. Crude and age-standardized cancer incidence rates by sex in Korea, 2012

a)

Significantly different from zero (p < 0.05),

b)

Includes the gallbladder and other/unspecified parts of the biliary tract.

Table 10. Crude and age-standardized rates of cancer prevalence by sex on January 1, 2013 in Korea

CNS, central nervous system.

a)

Crude prevalence rate: number of prevalent cases divided by the corresponding person-years of observation; Prevalent cases were defined as patients who were diagnosed between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2012 and who were alive on January 1, 2013; Multiple primary cancer cases were counted multiple times,

b)

Age-adjusted using the world standard population,

c)
