Description

Public Health Scotland (PHS) and Macmillan Cancer Support are working together to use data to improve the understanding of the impacts of cancer and its treatment on the cancer population.

This project aims to bring together a variety of different PHS datasets to understand more about the prevalence of different measures of multimorbidity in cancer patients. It also aims to look at which measures of multimorbidity are associated with cancer treatment intent decisions or with mortality.
