Table 2 Regional values for the 5-year reference and standardised marginal probabilities of death (due to cancer and all-causes) following a rectal cancer diagnosis for men (all ages). The reference standard is the population mortality rates for men in England in 2012, and the standardisation group is the joint deprivation and age distribution of men with rectal cancer in England as a whole. Also given for comparison, are values for the observed (unstandardized and non-reference adjusted) probabilities, and the net probability index (Sasieni and Brentnall)
