Cancer Registrations in England

Presents information on the number of newly diagnosed cases of cancer (incidence) and the age-standardised incidence rates for England. This publication has been discontinued and the data are now included within Cancer Statistics Registrations, England (Series MB1) so that all cancer registration data can be found in one place. The last volume to be published was Cancer Registrations in England - 2010.

Details of the policy governing the release of new data are available by visiting www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/assessment/code-of-practice/index.html or from the Media Relations Office email: media.relations@ons.gsi.gov.uk

The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National Statistics, in accordance with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

• meet identified user needs;
• are well explained and readily accessible;
• are produced according to sound methods; and
• are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest.

Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement that the Code of Practice shall continue to be observed.
