What is it about?
The Inverted Nomogramma di Gandy is a diagrammatical method that can provide useful and novel analyses that are complementary to incidence and prevalence data, which can be useful for healthcare practitioners who deal with Cancer services. The method can demonstrate varying patterns and identify outliers. It can also highlight the underlying dynamics behind incidence and prevalence data that may not otherwise be appreciated from net figures. Because it uses existing available data, this method could be speedily introduced to standard analytical procedures.

It is not necessarily the absolute values that are important - it is the comparative figures for different locations which can highlight key questions that may require further research and enquiry
