Skin cancer rate per 100,000 population in England 2012 by region and gender

* Information from the source: "The cancer registrations data reported are believed to be essentially complete for the year 2012 (99% as of February 2014)), but it is important to note that the cancer registration database is dynamic. In common with cancer registries in other countries, cancer incidence rates in England can take up to five years after the end of a given calendar year to reach 100 per cent completeness and stability, due to the continuing accrual of late registrations. The figure of 99% is an estimate of completeness based on the figures published for three previous years data (2009 to 2011), compared with the number of late registrations subsequently received for these years. It is therefore the difference between what figures have been published in all ONS cancer incidence publications within a given reporting year, verses late registrations received after the publication date cut-off. It is not an estimate of how many cancers never get recorded.

Skin cancer here refers to all malignant neoplasms of the skin, excluding malignant melanoma of the skin.
