CanStats digests by topics

Canstats are digests of facts and figures produced by our Cancer Epidemiology Centre (CEC). Several issues are published each year including annual cancer incidence and mortality data from the Victoria Cancer Registry (VCR).

Most issues focus on a particular cancer type or topic and include local, national or international statistics on incidence, mortality and survival.
