The methodology is described in the standard operating procedure CAS-SOP #4.4 Linking treatment tables - chemotherapy, tumour resections and radiotherapy.

Analytical notes:

Other care represents the group of patients who had no record of chemotherapy, tumour resection, or radiotherapy in the time frame assessed. This may include patients who received other treatments (such as hormonal therapy or management of symptoms), treatment outside of the time frame assessed, treatment in a private setting, or there may be data missing from the datasets used.

Tumour resections have been defined for 22 sites.

These percentages have not been case-mix adjusted.
