Abstract:
The National Cancer Data Base, a joint project of the American Cancer Society and the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, provides a mechanism for periodic assessment of hospital-based cancer patient care. From its annual summary, health care professionals can evaluate trends in patient care to make more efficient treatment decisions. This article provides a first look at highlights from the 1996 annual summary.
