Version 8 of the Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD) applies to cancer data submitted to Public Health England (PHE) from April 2018. Data from this period is included in national and official statistics, such as the case-mix adjusted percentage cancers diagnosed at stages 1 and 2 by the clinical commissioning group in England and other PHE publications such as Local Tobacco Control Profiles which are available at the following links:
