= The National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS) = The National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS) is a part of Public Health England - an Executive Agency of UK Government Department of Health and Social Care. NCRAS is the national service responsible for the collection and analyses of data about cancer in England. The service allows all cancer health care in England to be monitored in near-real-time while the resultant dataset provides a definitive source of cancer data for a wide range of activities including epidemiology, public health and healthcare, commissioning, service monitoring and planning, and basic, applied and population research.

NCRAS has evolved from the fusion and alignment of regional cancer registries in England and taken over and extended the cancer registry functions for England. Data is collected on each cancer case in England from the English National Health Service (NHS). Once included on NCRAS patients are then monitored for the rest of their lives and details of new cancers recorded.

NCRAS is part of the National Disease Registration Service (NDR), which is part of Public Health England. NCRAS was formed in 2013.
