The Quest for Population-Level Cancer Recurrence Data; Current Deficiencies and Targets for Improvement

摘要

Tumor registries provide an opportunity to generate this information, but require major reform. Our objectives were to (1) determine causes for variability in collection of recurrence, and (2) identify targets for intervention.
