Online Analysis Tools

The NCIN is a coordinated, collaborative development involving a large number of stakeholders with an interest in the collection, analysis, presentation and interpretation of cancer data.

Shown below are several of the online tools that have been developed, and which are now available. These have been produced collaboratively with various partners, which are also shown.

Many NCIN outputs will be a product of collaborations. Outputs may be produced, for example, with individual cancer registries, UKACR, Cancer Research UK, ONS as well as academic groups (e.g. CRUK Cancer Survival Group at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine). All outputs will acknowledge the input of partner organisations.
