GIS for Cancer Information

Using Geographic Information to support Cancer Information Provision

Geographic information:

• Facilitates the provision of cancer information and statistics to current and future organisations and is able to address requests for information about unusual groups of areas.
• Provides a vital link between cancer data and environmental and socio-economic datasets.
• Allows analysis of cancer data in spatial dimension addressing questions of proximity and distance.
• Identifies new ways to visualise cancer information.
