AIHW has released their latest Cancer Data in Australia report, which explores cancer prevalence, survival, incidence, mortality and risk for over 100 different types of cancer to inform understanding of cancer in Australia and how counts and rates have been changing over time. The report also explores cancer data by ranking, age, state and territory, country of birth and region. 

How patients feel, function and experience their care is increasingly being recognised as an essential measure of cancer care quality. A new nationally agreed Core Outcome Set (COS) is an important step towards making those experiences more visible and consistently reported across Australia’s cancer system.
