“…in order to produce estimates of what EUROCHIP-3 has designated differentiated prevalence, in which patients are divided according to their health status as follows: (a) cases not undergoing cancer treatment and without distant or local relapse; (b) cases expected to die of cancer within a year and probably requiring terminal care and home assistance (c) cases requiring health care or rehabilitation, expected to die of cancer after a year. 17 This has been shown to be feasible by studies performed in the UK on cancer survivors in general 18 and for colorectal cancer survivors in the US by linking hospital discharge data with cancer registry data. 19 Similar studies have also been performed in Italy [17][18][19][20] …”

Little is known of cancer rehabilitation needs in Europe. EUROCHIP-3 organised a group of experts to propose a list of population-based indicators used for describing cancer rehabilitation across Europe. The aim of this study is to present and discuss these indicators. A EUROCHIP-3 expert panel reached agreement on two types of indicators. (a) Cancer prevalence indicators. These were proposed as a means of characterising the burden of cancer rehabilitation needs by time from diagnosis and patient health status. These indicators can be estimated from cancer registry data or by collecting data on follow-up and treatments for samples of cases archived in cancer registries. (b) Indicators of rehabilitation success. These include: return to work, quality of life, and satisfaction of specific rehabilitation needs. Studies can be performed to estimate these indicators in individual countries, but to obtain comparable data across European countries it will be necessary to administer a questionnaire to randomly selected samples of patients from population-based cancer registry databases. However, three factors complicate questionnaire studies: patients may not be aware that they have cancer; incomplete participation in surveys could lead to bias; and national confidentiality laws in some cases prohibit cancer registries from approaching patients. Although these studies are expensive and difficult to perform, but as the number of cancer survivors increases, it is important to document their needs in order to provide information on cancer control.

“…They have previously demonstrated that the overwhelming majority of inpatient admissions among cancer patients occur in the first year after diagnosis or in the year before death (Maddams et al , 2011b). In this supplement, the same authors explore the extent to which these admissions are related or unrelated to the diagnosis of cancer at different periods following diagnosis.…”

“…Up to 10 years after diagnosis, those patients with breast and colorectal cancer are more likely to visit their GP than people without a cancer diagnosis (Khan et al , 2011a). Cancer survivors can spend significant amounts of time in hospital many years after diagnosis (Maddams et al , 2011). With increasing survival, it is likely that more people will suffer from consequences of their cancer treatment in later years.…”

Background:Two million people in the UK had a cancer diagnosis at the end of 2008. Understanding the number of people diagnosed with cancer with and without health needs is valuable information that can be used to inform service planning, treatment provision and support for people at the right time in the right place as demand grows over time.Methods:Using available data and clinically led assumptions about patient need and outcomes, we make indicative estimates. We quantify, for three common cancers, the number of people in each of the five main identified phases of the cancer care pathway.Results:Estimates are provided for each phase of the pathway for breast, colorectal and lung cancers. We estimate that there are nearly 575 000 women a year with breast cancer in the care pathway at some point in the year, 8% are in the rehabilitation phase and 4% in the progressive illness phase. This compares to nearly 270 000 with colorectal and around 95 000 with lung cancer.Conclusion:Using readily available data, we estimate the numbers of patients with different health needs. These numbers could inform the targeting of resources for service providers.
