You asked
I am writing in regards to a data request.
I am conducting research on glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and am looking to obtain demographic data related to its incidence in the UK. Specifically, I am interested in GBM incidence categorised by factors such as age, gender, occupation, as well as other demographic variables that may be available.
Can you kindly advise if the ONS holds this data, or if you could direct me to where I might find it.
We said
Thank you for your request.
We do not hold data relating to incidence of conditions or diseases.
Both NHS England and Cancer Research UK report on cancer incidence so would be best placed to answer your query regarding glioblastoma incidence. Their contact details are england.contactus@nhs.net and supporter.services@cancer.org.uk.
