1. Summary#

Data are collected by the National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS), which is part of NHS England’s National Disease Registration Service (NDRS). The Cancer Registration dataset is a subset of the Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD), which is the national standard for collecting cancer data in the NHS. Data collected include demographic characteristics and information about diagnoses and treatments.

4. Documentation#

We are currently building a documentation storage system, which will host relevant and useful documents related to datasets, groupings, and studies themselves. Relevant documentation for this particular dataset will go here.

5. Useful Syntax#

Below we will include syntax that may be helpful to other researchers in the UK LLC TRE. For longer scripts, we will include a snippet of the code plus a link to Git where you can find the full script
