The National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS) at Public Health England supplies cancer registration data to NHS Digital. This data is available to be linked to other data held by NHS Digital in order to provide notifications on an individual's cancer status, be available to support research studies and to identify potential research participants for clinical trials.

NCRAS is the population-based cancer registry for England. It collects, quality assures and analyses data on all people living in England who are diagnosed with malignant and pre-malignant neoplasms, with national coverage since 1971.

The Cancer Registration dataset comprises England data to the present day, and Welsh data up to April 2017.
