10.2.1.2 Incidence
Due to cancer registration, incidence estimates are available for cancer. The latest
information available on the Compendium is for 2004-2006 but only for a limited number
of cancer sites.
Local cancer incidence information is publicly available from the Northern and Yorkshire
Cancer Registry and Information Service (NYCRIS) for the period 2003-2007 (Northern
and Yorkshire Cancer Registry and Information Service, 2008). NYCRIS has produced
„Factsheets‟ for each PCT within their geographical area (23 PCTs across Yorkshire and
the North East of England) which give information on incidence and mortality for
different cancers. Each PCT is compared with the relevant cancer network, which in the
case of Hull PCT is the Humber and Yorkshire Coast Cancer Network. The four page
factsheet for Hull can be downloaded directly from the NYCRIS website at
www.nycris.nhs.uk/reports/pct_factsheets/. More up to date cancer information can be
accessed through the National Cancer Information Service, an online service that is
populated with cancer incidence, mortality and survival information from the United
Kingdom regional cancer registries. A password for NCIS can be requested through
NYCRIS. Currently the NCIS is populated with cancer incidence data up to 2008.
However, as data is not available at the ONS area classification level, Table 224, Table
226 and Table 228 have been retained in order for comparisons with the Industrial
Hinterland group to be made.
Table 224 and Table 226 give the directly age-standardised rates (DSR) for incidence
for men and women respectively over the period 2004-2006 from the Compendium for
the main cancer sites comparing Hull with England, the ONS Industrial Hinterlands
group and the average of the 10 comparator areas (see section 3.3.3 on page 44),
while Table 225 and Table 227 give the directly age-standardised rates (DSR) for
incidence for men and women respectively over the period 2006-2008 using data
extracted from the NCIS for the main cancer sites comparing Hull with the Yorkshire and
Humber region, England and the average of the 10 comparator areas. The 95%
confidence intervals are given except for the average of the 10 comparators (as
individual data is not available to calculate this, but the confidence interval will be
narrower than the confidence interval for Hull as the number of cancer cases will be
around ten times larger and the confidence interval for the 10 comparators will be
slightly wider than that of the ONS Industrial Hinterlands group). For International
Classification of Diseases (ICD) version 10 coding see section 13.4.5 on page 811.
