In 2022, 175 females per 100,000 population were registered in England as newly diagnosed with breast cancer. This was an overall increase in comparison to the last few years' rate of registration. This statistic shows the rate of newly diagnosed female cases of breast cancer per 100,000 population in England from 1995 to 2022.

This dataset presents the mortality rate from cancer among individuals under the age of 75 within the Birmingham and Solihull area. It captures the number of deaths attributed to all cancers (classified under ICD-10 codes C00 to C97) and expresses this as a directly age-standardised rate per 100,000 population. The data is structured in quinary age bands and is available for both single-year and three-year rolling averages, providing a comprehensive view of premature cancer mortality trends in the region.

Rationale Reducing premature mortality from cancer is a key public health priority. This indicator helps track progress in lowering the number of cancer-related deaths among people under 75, supporting efforts to improve early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies.

Numerator The numerator is the number of deaths from all cancers (ICD-10 codes C00 to C97) registered in the respective calendar years, for individuals aged under 75. These figures are aggregated into quinary age bands and sourced from the Death Register.

Denominator The denominator is the population of individuals under 75 years of age, also aggregated into quinary age bands. For single-year rates, the population for that year is used. For three-year rolling averages, the population-years are aggregated across the three years. The source of this data is the 2021 Census.

Caveats Data may not align exactly with published Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures due to differences in postcode lookup versions and the application of comparability ratios in Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) data. Users should be cautious when comparing this dataset with other national statistics.

Localities ExplainedThis dataset contains data based on either the resident locality or registered locality of the patient, a distinction is made between resident locality and registered locality populations:Resident Locality refers to individuals who live within the defined geographic boundaries of the locality. These boundaries are aligned with official administrative areas such as wards and Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs).Registered Locality refers to individuals who are registered with GP practices that are assigned to a locality based on the Primary Care Network (PCN) they belong to. These assignments are approximate—PCNs are mapped to a locality based on the location of most of their GP surgeries. As a result, locality-registered patients may live outside the locality, sometimes even in different towns or cities.This distinction is important because some health indicators are only available at GP practice level, without information on where patients actually reside. In such cases, data is attributed to the locality based on GP registration, not residential address.

Age-standardised rate of mortality from oral cancer (ICD-10 codes C00-C14) in persons of all ages and sexes per 100,000 population.RationaleOver the last decade in the UK (between 2003-2005 and 2012-2014), oral cancer mortality rates have increased by 20% for males and 19% for females1Five year survival rates are 56%. Most oral cancers are triggered by tobacco and alcohol, which together account for 75% of cases2. Cigarette smoking is associated with an increased risk of the more common forms of oral cancer. The risk among cigarette smokers is estimated to be 10 times that for non-smokers. More intense use of tobacco increases the risk, while ceasing to smoke for 10 years or more reduces it to almost the same as that of non-smokers3. Oral cancer mortality rates can be used in conjunction with registration data to inform service planning as well as comparing survival rates across areas of England to assess the impact of public health prevention policies such as smoking cessation.References:(1) Cancer Research Campaign.

This data shows premature deaths (Age under 75) from all Cancers, numbers and rates by gender, as 3-year moving-averages. Cancers are a major cause of premature deaths. Inequalities exist in cancer rates between the most deprived areas and the most affluent areas. Directly Age-Standardised Rates (DASR) are shown in the data (where numbers are sufficient) so that death rates can be directly compared between areas. The DASR calculation applies Age-specific rates to a Standard (European) population to cancel out possible effects on crude rates due to different age structures among populations, thus enabling direct comparisons of rates. A limitation on using mortalities as a proxy for prevalence of health conditions is that mortalities may give an incomplete view of health conditions in an area, as ill-health might not lead to premature death.
