Can you give a short explanation on how you're planning to use this dataset?

I'm currently preparing to do a capstone project for post-graduate program in SMU. I'm interested in gathering insights from the cancer incidence and survival rate in Singapore. I may also use the dataset to conduct other CDA analysis such as predictive analytics to determine whether a patient is likely to survive based on certain parameters.

@ongcheehong We only have limited data on cancer which can be found here https://data.gov.sg/search?q=cancer Typically MOH does not provide the data in such detailed breakdown unless you approach them for a specific request.
