Kurzfassung:
What's new? Data reporting on cancer incidence and survival lags significantly behind the actual time of data collection. This lag is due mainly to efforts to ensure data completeness that result in notification delays to cancer registries. This study shows, however, that at least in the case of survival data, reliable up‐to‐date estimates can be obtained one year after cancer diagnosis – significantly sooner than the usual three‐year delay. Valid estimates can be derived even from preliminary, currently incomplete registry data. The findings indicate that relatively prompt data reporting on cancer survival is feasible, with possible implications for cancer screening and treatment.
