This short story examines the impact of applying the new 2013 European Standard Population (ESP) to calculate age-standardised cancer incidence rates. This document focuses solely on the impact of applying the new methods to previously published cancer incidence data for 2011. Starting from this reporting year (2014/15), ONS outputs containing cancer incidence data will use the revised age-standardisation method.
