You asked
Please could I request:
Deaths with an underlying cause of cancer, by type of cancer, where neutropenia and an infection (bacterial pneumonia or septicaemia) were mentioned on the death certificate. Deaths registered in 2016 to 2023, by sex and specified age groups.
We said
Thank you for your request.
We publish deaths due to cancer by specific type on our NOMIS webservice for 2016 to 2021, with 2022 data available in July 2023. However, NOMIS does not provide mentions on the death certificate, it will only show where cancer was the underlying cause of death.
If you wish to use NOMIS, please see the following instructions:
Select Period – 2013 to 2021
Select the geography (England and Wales, regional or by local authority).
Select Age – All ages or 5-year age bands.
Select Gender – Total or Male/Female
Select rates – All deaths, rates or percentage of population for example.
