National Cancer Registries and Analysis Service (NCRAS)

About the dataset

The National Disease Registration Service (NDRS) collects information to count how many people in England have cancer, a rare disease or congenital anomaly. The data also shows which treatments are working well and this means the NHS can use the data to improve patient care across the country.

This dataset incorporates 3 tables for onward ICB dissemination (NDRS Cancer Registrations, NDRS Rapid Registrations and NDRS Pathway).
