Cancer data and stats

This publication is an update to the Cancer patient survival covering the period 1994 to 2007 publication released by the Ministry of Health in 2010.  It is not a stand alone document.

This report calculates the annual price of all cancers registered with the New Zealand Cancer Registry in 2008, and then estimates the drivers and likely magnitude of price change 10 years into the future, based on previous cancer incidence projections.

The publication shows cancer registration and death information mapped by DHB region of patient residence.

The report presents estimates of the burden of 28 different cancers in New Zealand in 2006. It adds to existing information on cancer incidence, survival and mortality in New Zealand, and can be used to help in the planning and prioritisation of cancer services, especially cancer control activities.
