SACT activity dashboard

The SACT activity dashboard reports systemic anti-cancer therapy data from all NHS providers in England. The dashboard presents a count of systemic anti-cancer therapy activity by patients, regimens and drug administrations from January 2019 and can be viewed at England, Cancer Alliance, and Integrated Care Board level.  

The dashboard allows data breakdowns on tumour and treatment characteristics as well as patient demographics:

Tumour and treatment characteristics

• Tumour group
• Treatment intent
• Drug administration route

Patient demographics

• Age group
• Gender
• Deprivation
• Ethnicity

Acknowledgement

This work uses data that has been provided by patients and collected by the NHS as part of their care and support. The data are collated, maintained and quality assured by the National Disease Registration Service, which is part of NHS England.

The intended audience is anyone with an interest in the prescribing of SACT treatments. Information presented in the dashboard can also support the planning and commissioning of cancer services. The data may also highlight areas of particular concern or gaps in data submissions. The dashboard will be updated monthly.

The SACT data set is a population-based resource of SACT activity reported routinely by NHS trusts in England. Data are collected on the SACT treatments of adults and paediatric patients, delivered in secondary and tertiary settings with the intention of improving survival, delaying future cancer progression or development, and improving disease-free or progression free survival.
