Cancer in Ireland

Cancer is a major public health issue and is the leading cause of death in adults in Ireland, with an estimated 1 in 2 individuals expected to receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. As the Irish population grows and ages, the number of people diagnosed with invasive cancer every year is expected to grow by between 50% and 100% over the 30-year period from 2015 to 2045. NCRI's comprehensive cancer data provides vital statistics and insights to inform research, enhance public health initiatives, and improve patient outcomes across Ireland.
