- *Disability weights were sourced from the 2010 Global Burden of Disease [17] with modification to the NZ distribution of cancers [16].
- **Remission refers to the period between diagnosis and treatment and either pre-terminal disease or statistical cure.
- Note: For example, an individual dying of lung cancer one year after diagnosis will spend 5 months in the treatment and diagnosis phase; 1 month in remission; 5 months in the pre-terminal phase, and their final month in the terminal phase.
