The National Cancer Registry Ireland (NCRI) is charged with collecting and classifying information on all cancer cases that occur in Ireland. The NCRI produces annual reports covering cancer incidence, mortality and survival.
The most recent year for which the NCRI has published full incident cancer case counts is 2021. This data was published in its 2023 annual report, which is available here:
• www.ncri.ie/sites/ncri/files/pubs/NCRI_AnnualStatisticalReport_2023.pdf
Full accurate data for 2022 and 2023 will not be available until the NCRI has collected and verified all data.
