Cancer in Norway is the Cancer Registry's annual report on cancer in Norway. The report presents complete incidence data for the various cancer types, broken down by gender, age and county, among others. In addition, the report presents statistics for prevalence, mortality and survival.
Statistics on cancer cases are published in the statistics bank of the Cancer Registry of Norway. The statistics bank contains the incidence of new cancer cases in Norway up to and including the last available year of diagnosis. The statistics can be divided into diagnostic groups, gender, age, period and geographical units such as counties and regional health authorities.
The Nordic cancer registries collaborate in publishing cancer statistics for the Nordic countries in NORDCAN. The Norwegian data come from the Cancer Registry.
