More data cancer

More Cancer Data is an initiative that brings together 24 scientific organisations and patient associations, with the aim of developing an integrated model of knowledge about cancer. This project makes 69 key indicators available to the public, organised into six fundamental dimensions of the cancer journey: health promotion and primary prevention, secondary prevention, early detection, diagnosis, health care, follow-up and end of life.

The main purpose of the application is to promote equity in access to cancer information throughout the country. Through the use of open data, it seeks to improve the accessibility, homogeneity and quality of the information available, thus facilitating more informed decision-making for both professionals and patients.

The indicators have been compiled from primary and official sources, which guarantees the reliability and quality of the data. The sources used include the National Statistics Institute (INE), the information system of the Ministry of Haematology and Haemotherapy (SEHH), the Spanish Society of Palliative Care (SECPAL), as well as other data from the Observatory of the Spanish Association Against Cancer and grey literature. All these resources make it possible to generate a broad and detailed overview of the cancer situation in Spain, which is accessible through this open data portal.
