Tools requiring registration

The National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS) currently has two portals requiring registration: CancerStats and CancerStats2. Both sites are only accessible on the N3 (NHS) network.

CancerStats2

CancerStats2 is NCRAS’s new and updated information and reporting portal for users within the NHS. It is a repository of information on datasets managed or supported by NCRAS and currently includes:

  • COSD reporting portal
  • Radiotherapy (RTDS) and Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT)
  • Incidence/Mortality
  • National Audits (NLCA, NABCOP, NPCA, OCAFP)
  • Life After Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Survey
  • Cancer Alliance Reporting (CADEAS)

Further modules are planned and will be included in due course. A slide-deck put together by the TCST partnership explaining the statistics and metrics available on CancerStats2 is available here.

https://cancerstats.ndrs.nhs.uk/

However, whilst the original CancerStats portal is being migrated to CancerStats2, certain functionality is still available on the original CancerStats site (further details below).

CancerStats (historic)

This is the original information and reporting portal for NCRAS. Most functionality has now been migrated to the new and updated CancerStats2 portal (details above). However, until the migration is fully complete, the following functionality is still available on the original CancerStats site:

  • Incidence/mortality/survival
  • Treatment modality
  • Clinical Headline Indicators
  • Standard Output Tables for rarer cancer types (Get Data Out)
