Cancer e-Atlas
- Abstract
-
A new interactive web-based resource, called 'Cancer e-Atlas', has been developed to improve access to cancer statistics across England. It aims to provide health care professionals, commissioners, health service managers and the public with information on incidence, mortality and survival for the common types of cancers in men and women. Data available in Excel format. Using data from English cancer registries and the Office for National Statistics, cancer statistics (incidence and mortality) are shown for Local Authorities and Cancer Networks. Survival statistics are also shown but at Cancer Network level only.
