Documentation
Associated Media:
Description:
av_patient: Patient information - demographics and death details.
av_tumour: Tumour catalogue and characterisation for all patients with registerable tumour. Table's anon_tumour_id is used to link treatment tables also available in NCRAS. One row per tumour, per participant at the point of registration of that cancer/tumour with NCRAS.
av_treatment: Tumour linked catalogue of treatments and sites that provided them for all patients with registerable tumour.
av_imd: The Income Deprivation Domain (IMD table) measures the proportion of the population experiencing deprivation relating to low income. The definition of low income used includes both those people that are out-of-work and those that are in work but who have low earnings.
av_rtd: Routes to Diagnosis: cancer registration data are combined with Administrative Hospital Episode Statistics data, Cancer Waiting Times daca and data from the cancer screening programmes. Using these datasets cancers registered in England which were diagnosed in 2006 to 2016 are categorised into one of eight Routes to Diagnosis. The methodology is described in detail in the British Journal of Cancer article 'Routes to Diagnosis for cancer - Determining the patient journey using multiple routine datasets'.
Cwt: The National Cancer Waiting Times Monitoring Data Set supports the continued management and monitoring of waiting times.
sact: Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (chemotherapy detail) data for cancer participants from NHSE covering regimens between 04/2012 and 08/2022. One row per chemotherapy cycle, per tumour (SACT-specific anon_tumour_id), per participant.
rtds: The Radiotherapy Data Set (RTDS) standard (SCCI0111) is an existing standard that has required all NHS Acute Trust providers of radiotherapy services in England to collect and submit standardised data monthly against a nationally defined data set since 2009. Data is available from 01/04/2009. The data is linked at a patient level and can be linked to the latest available av_patient table.
ncras_did: The Diagnostic Imaging Dataset (DID) is a central collection of detailed information about diagnostic imaging tests carried out on NHS patients, extracted from local radiology information systems and submitted monthly. The DID captures information about referral source, details of the test (type of test and body site), demographic information such as GP registered practice, patient postcode, ethnicity, gender and date of birth, plus data items about different events (date of imaging request, date of imaging, date of reporting, which allows calculation of time intervals.
lucada_2013: The National Lung Cancer Audit (LUCADA) looks at the care delivered during referral, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes for people diagnosed with lung cancer and mesothelioma. The data items in the LUCADA dataset are not to be confused with the data items identified as Lung Cancer in the National Cancer dataset.
lucada_2014: As above. Different schema to lucada_2013.
