"Figure 18: Smoothed trends in 5-year survival (%) for children (aged 0 to 14 years) diagnosed with cancer in England between 1990 and 2016","" "","" "","" "Notes","1. Age-group specific survival estimates are presented for children aged 0 to 4 years, 5 to 9 years, and 10 to 14 years. Age-standardised survival estimates are also presented for all children. 2. These data have been smoothed using the “lowess” technique (locally weighted scatter plot smoothing) because of the year-to-year variation in the survival estimates."
