1. FOREWORD
The Welsh Cancer Intelligence & Surveillance Unit (WCISU) has published the latest
Annual Report on cancer incidence for the calendar year 2009 with incidence 2005-
2009. Further details of incidence, mortality and survival and various other reports can
be found on our website http://www.wcisu.wales.nhs.uk.
As always we are grateful for the source data supplied by local health boards, hospitals
and ultimately from cancer clinicians in Wales. I would like to thank all members of the
team in WCISU for their diligence and hard work in meeting this ambitious deadline of
publishing no more than one year in arrears.

2. REGISTRATION OF CANCER IN WALES
The Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit (WCISU) is part of Public Health Wales as of October 2009 and is tasked under its Performance Level Agreement (PLA) with the Welsh Assembly Government to register all incidence of cancer for the resident population of Wales wherever they are treated. It is essential therefore to ensure completeness of registration that all possible sources of data collection are used. The use of multiple sources of data means that information relating to the same cancer incidence is received, and this also enhances the data quality as different data items are brought together to form a single record. WCISU benefits from a sophisticated computer package and a highly trained workforce to ensure that duplicate registrations are avoided. For the most recent year reported (2009) multiple notifications were received from:-
PEDW 1 records : Trusts throughout Wales : NHS Clearing Service
Pathology records : Data received from 13 of 14 laboratories
Extra Regional Notification
ONS2 : Cancer Deaths : Non Cancer Deaths

2.1 ONS SUBMISSION During the first years after being established WCISU’s emphasis was concentrated on timeliness. However since the inherited backlog of data has been cleared more time and resource has been given to ensuring the quality, not only of the data currently being registered, but also of previous registrations. Registrations are submitted to ONS to enable flagging on the National Health Service Central Register (NHSCR) which in turn enables cancer registries to receive Death Certificate Information. Cancer Registries are expected to have no more than 0.5% status 3 records (ie. records containing serious errors) for each year submitted. Good quality record submission enables a high percentage of records to be traced on NHSCR. Table 2 shows WCISU submission to ONS and also is an indicator of the work that has been undertaken to assure its quality.

2.2 DATA QUALITY The quality of the information produced by WCISU can only be maintained at the highest level if all staff are involved in ensuring data quality at every process undertaken.
Validation rules are embedded into the software used for registration and these are reviewed in conjunction with the United Kingdom association of Cancer Registries and the Office for National Statistics and updated as necessary.
Quality checks are run on incoming data to identify any quality issues.
Multiple sources of data are used for registration and any discrepancies between data sources are investigated to ensure data quality.
Regular data validation is undertaken by the Unit’s staff who access original source documentation at hospitals by accessing medical records and verifying data received.

Analysis of data in response to requests for information and in preparation of publications includes analysis staff in the quality program by highlighting any anomalies in the data that are then passed for further validation.
In an effort to maintain good standards of incoming data, WCISU has developed and delivered training packages to cancer information staff across Wales. Staff from the Unit who have been trained as Clinical Coding Tutors also participate in the delivery of basic clinical coding to staff across Wales and jointly develop, with the All Wales Coding Tutor, neoplasm workshops as further training for coding staff.
3. DEFINITIONS AND STATISTICAL METHODS
3.1 CALCULATION OF INCIDENCE RATES AND AGE STANDARDISATION Crude Rate: This is the total number of cases registered per year as a proportion of the total population. It is usually quoted per 100,000 population. Rates for older age groups are in general, much higher than those for younger people, so that the crude rate for an area is very much influenced by the age structure of the population of that area. This means that comparisons of the crude rates between populations with different age structures can be misleading. For this reason, methods have been developed to age-standardise cancer incidence rates. Direct Standardisation: Age specific incidence rates from the population under study are applied to a standard reference population to obtain the number of cases that would arise in the standard population in each group. These are summed to obtain the overall directly standardised incidence rate expressed per 100,000 population. The standard hypothetical population used in this report – the "European Standard Population" is shown in Table 3.
3.2 STANDARD POPULATIONS The European Age Standardised Rate (E.A.S.R.) for Wales per 100,000 population is calculated by applying age specific rates for Wales to the relevant standard European population shown above. These are then summed across all age groups to obtain the overall E.A.S.R. Because the age structure of the Welsh population differs from that of the European standard population, the standardised rate for Wales, for any particular type of cancer will differ from the crude rate. In general, because the Welsh population is slightly older than the European standard, the effect will be to lower the crude rate.

United Kingdom Association of Cancer Registries (UKACR), hence the much lower number of cases in 2007 to 2009.
