Cancer incidence
 On average, 37,591 cancers and other non-invasive tumours were diagnosed annually during the period 2012-2014.
 Excluding non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), 20,804 cases of invasive cancer were diagnosed annually (11,101 males, 9,703 females), representing 68% of all registered invasive cases.
 Excluding NMSC, the top five most common invasive cancers diagnosed in men were prostate (30%), colorectal (13%) and lung cancer (12%), lymphoma (5%) and melanoma of the skin (4%) (Summary Figure 1).
 Excluding NMSC, the top five cancers in women were breast (30%), lung (11%) and colorectal cancer (10%), melanoma of the skin (5%) and uterine cancer (corpus uteri, 5%).
 The lifetime risk (to age 75 years) of an invasive cancer diagnosis (excluding NMSC) was approximately 1 in 3 for men and 1 in 4 for women.

The incidence of a number of cancers has been associated with alcohol and tobacco consumption. See pages 17-21, 23, 26, 33-34,42 & 51).
