The National Disease Registration Service (NDRS) has produced population-based statistics on the patients recorded to have received radiotherapy, Systemic Anti-Cancer Treatment (SACT) and tumour resections for their tumour in England. This work focusses on the initial time period following diagnosis within which most patients' first course of treatment occurred, with the intention of capturing adjuvant and neo-adjuvant treatments as well as the primary treatment.
These statistics on cancer treatments aim to support the understanding of how patients are treated for their cancer diagnosis and how this varies between cancer types. This understanding is vital to assess variation and make improvements to treatment pathways. Stage at diagnosis and the presence of comorbidities amongst other factors have an important impact on treatment patterns.
