Queensland Cancer Statistics Online (QCSOL) provides information on cancer diagnoses, survival, deaths and prevalence by age and sex for 22 of the most common cancers in Queensland.

It was generated by the CCQ’s Cancer Research Centre and Information Technology groups. QCSOL uses the most recent data (up to December 31, 2021) available from the Queensland Cancer Register. The Register is managed by the Cancer Alliance Queensland on behalf of Metro South Hospital and Health Service for the Queensland Department of Health.
