How to use the Atlas of Health Variation

Searches

The Atlas allows the exploration of datasets from 2016 to 2023. It allows searching on the following criteria:

  • Region
  • Sex
  • Deprivation Level
  • Stage of diagnosis
  • Route (Emergency or non-emergency)

Some factors can be combined to give a finer-grained search. e.g. region, deprivation and sex.

The nine English regions are shown opposite.

For each search, the cancer type must be selected first, options are:

  • Head and neck
  • Laryngeal
  • Oral cavity
  • Oropharyngeal

Once the cancer type is chosen, further selections are provided for each main criteria.
