Cancer Registration Statistics, England, 2022
National statistics, Accredited official statistics
New data added:
- Incidence counts and rates have been re-stated for cancers diagnosed between 2012 to 2022, reflecting the updated populations available using the 2021 census
- Counts and rates have been provided for Persons in addition to Males and Females
- We now use https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/documents/2021-lsoa-imd-lookup.xlsx to align deprivation scores with 2021 LSOAs
- The data downloads for Cancer Registrations (Incidence) now contain counts and age-standardised rates for England only. The interactive dashboard contains counts, age-specific, non-standardised and age-standardised rates for England and sub-national geographies
Coming Summer 2025:
- Incidence counts and rates for small geographic areas including, Upper Tier Local Authority (UTLA) 2024 boundaries, Local authority district / unitary authority (LAUA) 2024 boundaries and Middle layer super output area (MSOA) using census 2021

Correction notice:
A coding error has resulted in incorrect populations being used as a denominator for age-specific rates for sub-national estimates. This has affected Tables 1 to 4. The coding error has been fixed and the age-specific rates for Government office regions, Cancer alliances, and Integrated care boards have been updated to the correct values.

Cancer incidence by Integrated care board
The estimated age-standardised cancer incidence rates varied across the country by main cancer groups and gender. Estimates in the accompanying resources are provided for the former Government office regions, Cancer alliances, and Integrated care boards (ICBs). The smallest current health geography is the ICB.
Figure 9 shows the spread of age-standardised cancer incidence rates per 100,000 people for the 3 most common main cancer groups for males and females in England in 2022 by ICB. The range of rates varied by cancer group:
- For prostate cancer in males, the rate ranged from 177 to 275 per 100,000 people
- For breast cancer in females, the rate ranged from 151 to 197 per 100,000 people.
- For lung cancer, the rate ranged from 60 to 112 per 100,000 people for males and from 47 to 102 per 100,000 people for females.
- For bowel cancer, the rate ranged from 70 to 96 per 100,000 people for males and from 49 to 69 per 100,000 people for females.
