Summary 

The population-based Thames Cancer Registry records cancer cases in the populations of London, Surrey, Sussex, and Kent. In 2005 the responsibility for cancer registrations in Hertfordshire and Essex was transferred from the Thames Cancer Registry to the Eastern Cancer Registration and Information Center.

The tables in this report are broken down by age, sex, health authority and region, and type of cancer coded in ICD-10. Incidence and prevalence rates, numbers of new registrations, types of treatment, and survival numbers are presented.

Information is also provided on cancer networks and patient flows and socio-economic variation in cancer incidence.
