A comparison of breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancers reported to the National Cancer Data Base and the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program

摘要: BACKGROUND The National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) is an information resource and program evaluation tool of the American College Surgeons Commission on Society that uses a hospital-based cancer reporting system. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) population-based registry Institute. purpose this investigation was to compare aggregate NCDB data for selected types from given year with comparable SEER data. METHODS SEER 1992 18,322 breast, 13,427 colorectal, 15,276 lung, 21,501 prostate cancers were compared 96,323 69,456 108,702 107,690 cancers. RESULTS Similar levels completeness observed. tended contain less complete about Spanish or Hispanic ethnicity patients. Tumor grade be incomplete in both series. Stage lung more often missing data. Patient age, race, gender differed little corresponding data, except reported greater proportion patients "other" race category included Asian-Americans Indians. laterality, anatomic site, tumor grade, surgical treatment similar Radical mastectomy performed 49.4% breast cases 49.2% cases. Cancer-directed surgery observed among than also indicated use radiation therapy four reviewed. CONCLUSIONS The aggregate, described patient disease characteristics patterns only marginally those same year. 1997; 79:2052-61. © 1997 Society.
