Abstract:
Maintenance of an acceptable autopsy rate is important for continuous quality control of the mortality statistics of a population, as well as for continuous quality control of clinical diagnosis in general. A high autopsy rate is of particularly great value for maintaining the quality of data on mortality from neoplastic diseases and, by feed-back, for ensuring the quality and accuracy of clinical diagnosis of malignant neoplastic diseases.
