Cancer Incidence, Mortality and Survival
The National Cancer Intelligence Network’s (NCIN) e-atlas tool provides data on cancer incidence, mortality and survival for the UK. The tool is being updated to provide updated data up to 2012, at Clinical Commissioning Group, Health and Social Care Trust and Health Board level. Once this update is complete the e-atlas will be available publically on the NCIN website.
Prior to this update, most recent cancer statistics for national levels, and selected lower geographies, are available from a number of sources.
