NHS England: Cancer Registration Dataset - Dated 02 Mar 2023

Data are collected by the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS), which is part of NHS England’s National Disease Registration Service (NDRS). This dataset is a subset of the Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD), which is the national standard for collecting cancer data in the NHS. The dataset includes all patients (adults and children) diagnosed with or receiving cancer treatment in or funded by the NHS in England. Data are collected under section 251 of the NHS Act 2006. Patients may opt out of the Cancer Registry, but this is different from the National data opt out.
