Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people have been diagnosed with adrenal cortex carcinoma in each of the last five years.
The National Disease Registration Service in NHS England, as the national cancer registry, collects diagnosis and treatment data on cancer patients in England. The following table shows the number of adrenal cortex carcinoma diagnoses each year from 2017 to 2021:
Year | Males | Females | Total |
2017 | 18 | 29 | 47 |
2018 | 21 | 25 | 46 |
2019 | 36 | 29 | 65 |
2020 | 13 | 21 | 34 |
2021 | 17 | 34 | 51 |
