Trends in the lifetime risk of developing cancer in Great Britain: comparison of risk for those born from 1930 to 1960 [PDF]
Background: Typically, lifetime risk is calculated by the period method using current risks at different ages. Here, we estimate the probability of being diagnosed with cancer for individuals born in a given year, by estimating future risks as the cohort
