This report from the Singapore Cancer Registry (SCR) focuses on cancer incidence and mortality in citizens and permanent residents from 2008-2012, with some examination of trends since 1973. This is the first report to use population denominators from the Department of Statistics (DOS), Singapore, to calculate incidence rates. There are also sections focused on specific cancer sites, childhood cancers, and cancers among non-residents. Numbers and incidence rates by site, sex, ethnicity, and 5-year age groups for 2008-2012 are provided in Appendices B and C.
