Note: This dataset will not be receiving updates through this portal. Please refer to the Public Health Scotland Open Data platform for the relevant data.
Numbers of new cases for the following types of cancer: malignant neoplasms (excluding non melanoma skin cancer), lung cancer (including cancers of the trachea and bronchus), malignant female breast tumours, colorectal cancers (constituting cancers of the colon, rectum and rectosigmoid junction), and malignant prostate tumours.

Cancer registration is a dynamic process: the incidence data presented here may differ from other published data relating to the same time period, including that found on the ISD website, which is extracted separately from the data here. For further information see ISD's Cancer Website.
Time series comparisons are suitable, however cancer registrations may come to light many months or even years after diagnosis and the cancer registration database is continually being updated. The data presented here may therefore, particularly for recent years, differ slightly from other published data relating to the same time period. More detailed data are published on the Cancer pages of the ISD Website.
The data are used for variety of purposes which include: public health surveillance; health needs assessment, planning and commissioning cancer services; evaluation of the impact of interventions on incidence; clinical audit and health services research; epidemiological studies; and providing information to support genetic counselling and health promotion.
This is a linked data resource: it has a permanent unique uri at which both humans and machines can find it on the Internet, and which can be used an identifier in queries on our SPARQL endpoint.
