The follow-up process also serves as an automatic reminder to both physician and patient to schedule regular physician exams. Follow-up also provides accurate data for calculating survival rates and statistical analysis of each cancer primary site by stage at diagnosis. Our statistical analyses are compared to national data to ensure quality of care is maintained. Physicians help provide quality data by providing the cancer registry with treatment information and information on the status of their patients on follow-up exams. Patients can also help provide quality data by providing updated information regarding their current address and physician.
All statistical analysis is completed without patient names.
