Description
Numbers of new cases, and rates per 100,000 population for the following types of cancer:
- malignant neoplasms (excluding non melanoma skin cancer).
- lung cancer, including cancers of the trachea and bronchus
- malignant female breast tumours
- colorectal cancers, constituting cancers of the colon, rectum and rectosigmoid junction
- malignant prostate tumours
Note that some information may have been suppressed or adjusted to preserve patient confidentiality. Cancer registration is a dynamic process: the incidence data presented here may differ from other published data relating to the same time period. Source: Scottish Cancer Registry (SMR06).

Accuracy and Reliability
Cancer registration is a dynamic process: the incidence data presented here may differ from other published data relating to the same time period, including that found on the ISD website, which is extracted separately from the data here. For further information see ISD's Cancer Website (www.isdscotland.org/cancer)
Coherence and Comparability
Time series comparisons are suitable, however cancer registrations may come to light many months or even years after diagnosis and the cancer registration database is continually being updated. The data presented here may therefore, particularly for recent years, differ slightly from other published data relating to the same time period. More detailed data are published on the Cancer pages of the ISD Website (www.isdscotland.org/cancer)
Accessibility and Clarity
Relevance
The data are used for variety of purposes which include: public health surveillance; health needs assessment, planning and commissioning cancer services; evaluation of the impact of interventions on incidence; clinical audit and health services research; epidemiological studies; and providing information to support genetic counselling and health promotion.
