Cancer Publications and Reports
The NCIN analytical team, in collaboration with partner organisations, prepare national analyses, data briefings and reports on cancer analysis. A range of other data on cancer in the UK are also available.
Details of planned reports are available here.
If you would like to receive a printed version of any NCIN reports, please contact the co-ordinating team.
National Analyses
Cancer Incidence and Survival By Major Ethnic Group (June 2009)
England | 2002-2006 | Incidence rate ratios and estimated ASRs
Joint report with Cancer Research UK in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
The first national analysis for twenty-one different cancer sites or groups, presenting cancer incidence by ethnic group in England. This report also includes data on cancer survival by ethnic group for the four largest cancer sites.
The Excess Burden of Cancer in Men in the UK (June 2009)
UK | 2006 (incidence) 2007 (mortality) | Incidence and mortality rate ratios
Joint report with Cancer Research UK, The Centre for Men's Health at Leeds Metropolitan University and the Men's Health Forum
This publication presents analyses of the increased cancer incidence and mortality rates in males compared to females.
One Year and Five Year Cancer Prevalence (June 2009)
England by cancer network | 2004 | Crude and age standardised proportions
Report prepared for Macmillan Cancer Support by Thames Cancer Registry
Cancer prevalence results for breast, colorectum and anus, lung and prostate cancer as well as for all cancers combined and for all cancers excluding the top four. These figures are broken down by cancer network, showing the variation in the number of cancer survivors around England.
Cancer Incidence by Deprivation (December 2008)
England | 1995-2004 | Excess cases and changes in ASR between deprivation quintiles
This report analyses twenty-four different cancer sites or groups and presents results showing the change in incidence rates between socio-economic quintiles, as well as estimating the excess cases caused by deprivation.
Cancer Incidence and Mortality (October 2008)
UK by cancer network | 2005 | Crude rates and ASRs
NCIN's first UK wide report showing differences in age-standardised incidence and mortality rates for twenty-two cancer sites or groups.
One Year Cancer Survival (October 2008)
England by cancer network | 1985-2004 | England trends over time and cancer network funnel plots
Prepared in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
Trends over time and funnel plots showing variations between cancer networks in one year relative survival rates for twenty two cancer sites or groups.
Cancer Prevalence (July 2008)
UK | 2008 | Lifetime prevalence for all cancers and colorectal, lung, breast and prostate cancers
Analysis conducted for Macmillan Cancer Support by Thames Cancer Registry
Presentation giving estimates for cancer prevalence in England and the UK.
Databriefings and Site Specific Reports
Colorectal Cancer Survival by Stage (June 2009)
England | 1996-2006 | Relative survival by Dukes stage
Data briefing prepared by Northern and Yorkshire Cancer Registry and Information Service
The first data briefing produced in conjunction with a lead cancer registry shows how relative survival rates differ for colorectal cancer dependent on stage at diagnoses.
All Breast Cancer Report (October 2009)
UK | 2006 | Incidence, treatment and survival for screen-detected and symptomatic breast cancers with analysis by deprivation and ethnicity
Report prepared by West Midlands Cancer Intelligece Unit on behalf of the NHS Cancer Screening Programmes
A UK analysis of all symptomatic and screen-detected breast cancers diagnosed in 2006.
Cancer Reform Strategy Initiatives
Local Awareness and Early Diagnosis Baseline Guide (July 2009)
A detailed guide to aid cancer networks and PCTs produce baseline assessments including data sources, issues that need to be considered, core indicators and detailed information that should be included. This guide has been jointly produced by NCIN and NCAT.
