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.
