A new series of PCT Cancer Factsheets covering the East Midlands and South Yorkshire have been produced. These provide a concise summary of the most up-to-date incidence, mortality and survival figures for cancers diagnosed in people living in each of the 13 PCTs in these areas, along with figures for each comparative Cancer Network.
Please click on the appropriate area link below to access the factsheets. For the larger PCTs, there is also another link to a separate list of Ward names.
Details of the methodology used to construct the figures in these factsheets are also available.
We plan to regularly update the information presented in the factsheets, and as such would welcome
on future content.
The table below has links to the latest information available on the website for the East Midlands and South Yorkshire areas, by cancer site. Incidence data is up to 2006, mortality to 2007 and survival to 2005 (with follow-up to 2006). Data is presented at various geographical levels; LA, PCT, GOR, SHA and Cancer Network (incidence and survival). Comparative data for England data is also presented. This section was last updated in March 2009.

Note: As these data are influenced by a variety of factors, we caution against over-interpretation, especially when comparing data between smaller geographical areas. Care should also be taken in interpreting trends over time or comparisons between areas in cancer incidence and survival because of potential changes/differences in the way cases are registered.
If you need further advice on interpretation of the data presented, please contact us

The ‘Cancer e-Atlas’ was launched by the National Cancer Intelligence Network (NCIN) to improve public access to basic cancer statistics at Local Authority, PCT and Cancer Network level across England. It presents data on the incidence of, and mortality / survival from the main types of cancers in men and women.

Compendium of Public Health and Clinical Indicators
The Compendium of Public Health and Clinical Indicators is an annual set of some 1,000 comparative analyses of data at national and sub-national levels, including a selection on cancer incidence and mortality. The Compendium is managed by the National Centre for Health Outcomes Development (NCHOD) on behalf of the Information Centre for Health and Social Care.
National Cancer Intelligence Network
The NCIN was launched in June 2008 in line with the commitments of the Cancer Reform Strategy. The website includes NCIN publications and reports, links to other cancer publications and reports, and access to the Cancer Commissioning toolkit, 'Cancer E-Atlas' and National Cancer Information Service (NCIS).
Office for National Statistics
National cancer data is presented, including mortality, survival and detailed cancer registration statistics (numbers and rates of newly diagnosed cases of cancer by site and sex from 1992 to most recent - currently 2006).
