About CancerStats Reports
CancerStats reports are unique because they assimilate the cancer statistics from all four UK cancer registries - England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. In addition, their content is entirely original and commissioned by us based on public interest and topicality.
The full series of CancerStats reports and PowerPoint presentations are now available to download entirely free of charge from the Our Publications section of this website. However, the most up to date source of cancer statistics in the UK is the individual sections of the CancerStats website.
Contents of CancerStats Reports
The Statistical Information Team produce around 10 CancerStats reports each year.
Each CancerStats report contains comprehensive information - we produce reports not only relating to specific cancers (for example, Breast Cancer - UK and Prostate Cancer - UK), including most of those in our 26 types of cancer section, but also on topical issues relating to cancer, such as Genes and Cancer, Infectious Agents and Cancer and Cancer in Minority Ethnic Groups.
The data used are always the latest available at the time of writing.
CancerStats reports are written by experts in their field and are primarily for the use of health professionals. The reports contain extensive statistical analyses and we include illustrations, graphs and tables to support the text and figures.
Unless specified otherwise, the reports contain cancer statistics for the UK but we do place these in the context of the constituent countries of the European Union and countries worldwide. You can download all our reports and Powerpoint presentations at our Publications section.
