Cancer in Australia 2000 presents comprehensive national data on cancer incidence and mortality and summary data on cancer screening and admitted hospital patients. The report provides 2000 data for cancers by site, age and sex, and summary data for each state and territory. Incidence and mortality trends since the early 1980s and age patterns for selected cancers are features of this report. The information in this report is supported by more detailed information for all cancer sites on the AIHW's web site wwww.aihw.gov.au. Cancer in Australia 2000 is an important reference from the Cancer Series for all those interested in the health of Australians.

Attributable fractions reported in Ridolfo and
Stevenson 2001 were used to calculate the numbers of
cancers attributable to smoking and alcohol presented in
Cancer in Australia 1999, Cancer in Australia 2000 and
Cancer in Australia 2001. However, the fractions for
cancers attributable to smoking presented in table 2
(page 18 of the 1999 report, page 19 of the 2000
report and page 17 of the 2001 report) were
inadvertently not updated in the printed versions of
these reports and still reflect earlier fractions
reported by English et al. 1995.
