Use Local Cancer Statistics to find and compare statistical information and intelligence about cancer in areas across the UK.

Despite recent changes to the NHS in England most cancer data is still published at Primary Care Trust (PCT) or Local Authority level. Where possible, the data has been mapped the data to other popular geographic levels including Clinical Commissioning group, Constituency and post code, to support localised insight and decision making.
Cancer Research UK also provides a range of information and UK wide statistics in its Cancer Statistics for the UK.

This data is presented combined and by type of cancer, and both in summary as Key Stats and in-depth.
