RARECARE project Proposal for improving data quality on rare cancers with high priority Granada, March 25th 2009 Andalusian School of Public Health
Rare tumours with high priority short list
Short list • Mesothelioma • Liver angiosarcoma • Sarcomas • Tumors of oral cavity • SNC tumours • Germ cell tumours • Leukemia • Endocrine tumours Primary prevention Diagnostic accuracy Secondary prevention Quality of care Data quality
Mesothelioma Quality of follow-up (high lethality) Accuracy of diagnosis
Mesothelioma, 3-year relative survival by registry
Angiosarcoma of liver Anne Marie will refer Angiosarcoma of liver Source: Lancet Oncol. 2006 Feb;7(2):132-40
Sarcoma % of sarcoma NOS
% Sarcoma NOS by registry
Tumors of oral cavity stage at diagnosis
CNS tumours Benign/borderline/malignant ICD-O changes(i.e pilocytic astrocytoma) Cultural attitudes of pathologists (high variation in survival) Quality of follow-up (high lethality) Ryszard showed us
Brain tumours5-year survival in Europe From 27% to 16% >20% (Finland, Iceland, Norway, Ireland, Wales, Austria, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal) Source: Sant et al, EJC, 2008 19.7%
Germ cell tumours Ovarian germ cell tumour
Indicator of data quality Inconsistency in diagnosis & coding criteria Geographical variation in incidence
Indicator of data qualityMV DCO Lost to f-u Source: Lancet Oncol. 2006 Feb;7(2):132-40
Crude and standardised incidence rates; range of incidence across regions (ratio)
Germ cell tumours % of morphology NOS among the relevant cancer sites
leukaemia % of morphology NOS
Conclusion • Short list (agreement) • Data quality analysis on information already available to registries (ICD-O codes, incidence and survival analyses) • Check of morphology codes NOS and its impact on incidence and survival
Further clinical information to be collected Stage Treatment Hospital for diagnosis and treatment Biomarkers? Prognostic factors? Other?
