PC-Nordcan

Description

PC-NORDCAN is a data base providing 35 years of data (1972 - 2006) on incidence and mortality concerning 41 major cancer diseases. The data covers 81 regions in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). PC-NORDCAN can be downloaded free of charge.

With PC-NORDCAN data can be presented as a variety of tables and graphs, which can be printed, saved or copied to other programs like Word or Power Point. NORDCAN also gives you the unique opportunity to export data into other programs for further analysis. PC-NORDCAN allows counties and cancer sites to be grouped and compared as desired.

This is the last PC-version. PC-NORDCAN will no longer be updated since Danish counties do not exist from 2007.

Web-NORDCAN version 8.2

NORDCAN can also be found in a web-based version with choice of language and with data available from the start of the cancer registers and cause of death registers to the newest data from each country.

In the web-version the smallest geographical unit is now regions (up to 6 for each country) and no grouping of regions or diagnoses nor editing of graphs and tables are possible. Prevalence and survival information can also be found in the web-version as well as a prediction facility.
