The information requested is not available, as ethnicity is not routinely recorded on individual cancer registrations.
In 2009, the National Cancer Intelligence Network and Cancer Research UK published a report titled “Cancer Incidence and Survival by Major Ethnic Group, England, 2002-2006” , in collaboration with the Cancer Research UK Cancer Survival Group at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. This report is available at:

The analysis for this report was carried out using cancer registration data linked to Hospital Episode Statistics data.
