cranky_granny I have updated your comment with the numbers for you 😉
Thanks Mez
Mez_BCNA do you know if they all use the same methodology?
It would be interesting to know where the data comes from.
Hey Cath62
What we do know is NSW has shared its methodology with the other states to support them to report on their data.
(I've taken a snippet below from ministerial media release)
By linking cancer incidence and mortality data with NSW clinical datasets, Commonwealth Medicare Benefits Schedule, Pharmaceutical Benefits Schedule and National Death Index data, the Institute was able to determine the number of people living with metastatic breast cancer in NSW.
