Basis of Diagnosis • Pathology report from NCI, or after slide revision • Diagnosis reported explicitly by the treating doctor • Log books of specialized clinics as chest, pain and radiotherapy • Lastly if the pathologic or laboratory diagnosis were not verified, clinical diagnosis is considered
Data management and data quality • Assurance of completeness through continuous generation of patients' lists who do not have diagnosis, or those not classified as cancer or non-cancer • Checking essential demographic data as age or date of birth, sex or address are done. Patient lists were evaluated for duplicates • Internal quality checks: random selection of some records was done systematically for double checks of data abstraction and to ensure completeness
