English to Spanish Medical Medical: Health Care Cancer

This is apparently a relatively new way of measuring cancer's impact on a population. Here's a description of the ratio:

The mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) is calculated by dividing the number of deaths for a selected cancer type in a given year by the number of newly diagnosed cases for that cancer in the same year.

Mortality Incidence Rate Ratio (from the CDC)
The Mortality Incidence Rate Ratio figures, also known as mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) are calculated by dividing the mortality rate by the incidence rate, for the selected cancers and population. The mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) provides a population-based indicator of survival.
