Cancer incidence, mortality and survival and hospital utilisation in NSW
Project Title: Cancer incidence, mortality and survival and hospital utilisation in NSW
Lead researcher: Professor Karen Canfell
Organisation: The Daffodil Centre, University of Sydney
The Project:
This project will utilise CanDLe data for two purposes:
- Temporal patterns in cancer incidence, mortality and survival by demographic and clinical factors will be assessed and used to inform our cancer modelling approaches. These modelling approaches synthesise data from many sources (of which CanDLe will be one) to evaluate the future health and economic impact of cancer control interventions in Australia;
- Data on cancer-related hospitalisations will be used to assess prognostic factors, variations in patterns of care, and the relationship of comorbidities to cancer outcomes. The specific cancers of interest in this application are: cancers of the colorectum, lung, breast, ovary, prostate, liver, cervix, as well as melanoma and multiple myeloma, and cancers associated with selected pan-tumour biomarkers
