Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Cancer status (presence versus absence of cancer) measured by a cancer diagnosis being present in routine NHS diagnostic records by the end of follow-up

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Tissue of Origin (1 of 10 solid tumour cancers) measured using the stated Tissue of Origin for the first cancer diagnosis present in routine NHS diagnostic records by the end of follow-up. 2. Cancer stage (stage I/II/III/IV) measured using the stated cancer stage for the first cancer diagnosis present in routine NHS diagnostic records by the end of follow-up.
