About
Index of cancer survival: 1-year, 5-year and 10-year survival (%) for all cancer combined, breast, colorectal, lung , by calendar year of diagnosis, by sex and age group: all adults (aged 15 to 99 years), Clinical Commissioning Groups, Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships, Cancer.
This dataset offers comprehensive information on cancer survival rates throughout various regions in the United Kingdom, organized systematically by Cancer Alliances, Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), and Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs). It presents detailed survival percentages for multiple types of cancers, including colorectal, breast, and lung cancers, among others. The data is thoughtfully stratified by demographic factors such as age and sex, as well as by specific cancer sites, enabling a nuanced analysis of survival rates.
The dataset incorporates important statistical metrics, including confidence intervals and estimates of precision, which provide deeper insights into the reliability of the data. This combination of detailed demographic stratification and robust statistical measures makes the dataset an invaluable resource for researchers and healthcare professionals aiming to assess cancer survival trends and outcomes across different healthcare regions in the UK. Such analysis can further inform public health policies and strategies aimed at improving cancer care and survival rates.
