Reports

Bladder Cancer PROMs Pilot

This report has been published jointly by NHS England and PHE. It is a descriptive summary of responses to a pilot of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) for Bladder Cancer.


Kidney Cancer: Survival Report

This report examines trends in survival of kidney cancer, in England, over the most recent 20 years of data available 1990-2010. This report also endeavours to examine how one and five year survival rates of kidney cancer are influenced by sex, the histological cell type of the tumour, the grade of differentiation and the stage at presentation.


Rare Urological Cancers Report

The report examines incidence, mortality and survival for the rare urological cancers. Namely: penile cancer; testicular cancer; cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter; non-TCC bladder cancer; and small-cell prostate cancer.


Penile Cancer Report: Malignant and In-Situ Tumours (July 2013)

This report examines trends in incidence, mortality and survival of penile cancers, both malignant and penile epithelial neoplasia (PIN) (ICD10 C60 & D074) in England over the most recent 20 years of data available 1990-2009. This report also endeavours to examine treatment pathways for penile cancer including modality of treatment, an analysis of penile specific surgeries, amputation, partial amputation and reconstruction, time between curative surgery and reconstruction, whether a patient receives reconstruction and whether this is influenced by the patients’ relative level of socio-economic deprivation.


Rare bladder cancers (July 2012)

The majority of bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinomas (TCC). About 1 in 6 are not TCCs and include squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and small cell carcinoma. It is unclear if the epidemiology of this group is different, and if their treatments and outcomes are the same.


Mortality from prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the second biggest cancer killer for men, after lung cancer. In 2009 there were 10,292 prostate cancer deaths in the UK: 8,755 deaths in England, 205 in N. Ireland, 790 in Scotland and 542 in Wales. This compares to 19,319 deaths from lung cancer in men in the UK.


Deaths from Urological Cancers in England, 2001-10

The aim of the report is to help end of life care commissioners and providers improve planning and service delivery in line with the needs and wishes of patients.People dying with a urological cancer have specific end of life care needs. The report highlights variations by cancer type, age, sex, region, place of death and socioeconomic status, which helps us understand those needs better. The report also includes information on hospital admission costs in the last year of life and how they vary by type of urological cancer.

Treatment routes in prostate cancer

To better understand outcome measures, it is necessary to analyse what treatment pathway a patient has followed after diagnosis. Until recently it was difficult to attempt this due to the poor recording of several key data items, particularly radiotherapy. With the release of the National Radiotherapy Dataset (RTDS), recording completeness of radiotherapy data has increased. This means we are now able to take a meaningful look at the treatment pathways of each patient. Equally importantly, we can also identify the cohort of patients who have no treatments recorded, to potentially give information on active surveillance programmes.

Data Quality Report 2012: Urological Cancers SSCRG

A report produced in partnership between the South West Public Health Observatory (SWPHO) and the National Cancer Intelligence Network (NCIN) to find out the completeness of staging information held in the National Cancer Data Repository (NCDR) for urological tumours. Quality of data recorded associated with histology, ethnicity and treatment were also addressed for prostate tumour records.

Data Quality Report 2011: Urological cancers SSCRG

A report produced in partnership between the South West Public Health Observatory (SWPHO) and the National Cancer Intelligence Network (NCIN) to find out the completeness of staging information held in the National Cancer Data Repository (NCDR) for urological tumours. Quality of data recorded associated with histology, ethnicity and treatment were also addressed for prostate tumour records.

Differentiated Teratoma of the Testis - NCIN Data Briefing

This data briefing examines the epidemiology of the main types of testicular tumours and considers the likely impact of a proposed change in coding.

Survival in patients treated by cystectomy for bladder cancer

As lead registry for urological cancers, the South West Public Health Observatory (SWPHO) has access to national cancer registry data, Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) audit data and Office for National Statistics (ONS) deaths records. Using these data sources it is possible to identify people diagnosed with bladder cancer and treated by cystectomy, and follow up their status for a set period of time.

The analysis was undertaken to determine if the survival of patients after cystectomy for bladder cancer changed over the period 1999 to 2007.

Prostate Cancer Survival - NCIN Data Briefing

As part of its work to support the NCIN Urology Site Specific Clinical Reference Group, the SWPHO produces a yearly data briefing which describes key research in a straightforward manner. This data briefing describes the differences in survival from prostate cancer, depending on the progression of the disease. It also shows survival for men after diagnosis, relative to the general population.
