About the tables

These interactive tables provide the latest cancer registration data for New Zealand. When you choose cancers of interest from a list, the data and graphs automatically update based on your choice:

  • The ten most common cancer registrations for 2015 by ethnic group and sex. Data is also included for years 2006–2014 to enable trend analysis.
  • Numbers and rates of new cancer registration for groups of cancer, by sex for 2015.
  • Numbers of new cancer registrations for individual cancers for 2015, by sex, ethnic group, life-stage age group, deprivation quintile, district health board region and regional cancer network.

These tables form part of the Cancer: New registrations and deaths series. Other releases based on this data are expected to be published in 2018.

You can download these data tables from the Downloads section of this page.
