These tables contain cancer registration and death data for selected cancers by sex, from 1948–2013. 

The registration data in this document reflects the data published in the Ministry of Health’s Cancer: New registrations and deaths publication for that particular year, and does not reflect any subsequent updates made to the New Zealand Cancer Registry. Information relating to cancer deaths is unlikely to change over time.
