nhs; waiting times; cancerGeneral description
The patients shown here are those not treated via the urgent route. The national target for these patients is:Patients not referred as urgent suspected cancer but subsequently diagnosed with cancer will start definitive treatment within 31 days of diagnoses, regardless of the referral route.Data are collected for 13 cancer tumour sites and an "other" category. Results were published only for the sites judged to have data of sufficient quality, with more sites added as quality improved. It should be noted that for many trusts the number of tumour sites reported against has increased each quarter and therefore it is not advisable to make comparisons between quarters. For some cancer tumour sites the total number of patients starting treatment within the quarter is small. Care should be taken when interpreting percentages based on small numbers of patients.
