Summary:Here, we report the NHS Digital data for patients diagnosed with kidney cancer (KC) in England. We explore the incidence, route to diagnosis (RTD), treatment, and survival patterns from 2013 to 2019. Data was extracted from the Cancer Data NHS Digital portal for ICD-10 coded KC; this included cancer registry data, hospital episode statistics, and cancer waiting times data. Registrations included 66,696 individuals with KC. Incidence of new KC diagnoses increased (8,998 in 2013, to 10,232 in 2019), but the age-standardised rates were stable (18.7 to 19.4 per 100,000 population). Almost half of patients (30,340, 45.5%) were aged 0-70 years and the cohort were most frequently diagnosed with stage 1-2 KC (n=26,297, 39.4%). Most patients were diagnosed through non-urgent GP referrals (n=16,814 (30.4%)), followed by two-week-wait (2WW) (n=15,472 (28.0%)) and emergency routes (n=11796 (21.3%)), with older patients (70+ years), stage 4 KCs, and non-specified RCC patients being significantly more likely to present through emergency route (all p
