Adjusted* cumulative probability of death from index cancer^# in Western Australia for major cancer types combined and selected cancers diagnosed 1983 to 2011, by cancer type. *Age, sex, period, Indigenous status, socioeconomic quintile, accessibility to health services and, for the major cancer types combined analysis, cancer type. Covariates are held at the mean of the observations in the respective cancer cohort used in the Fine and Gray model. Thus the probability of death is adjusted for these factors across each time period. The figure shows both the within-sample and out-of-sample (i.e. beyond the post-diagnosis follow-up time of the data) estimations of 1 year for each of the following: 2008–2011 sub-period for panel B, 2003–2007 sub-period for panel C, 1993–1998 sub-period for panel D. ^#Index cancer refers to the first invasive primary cancer of each type
