Accuracy of Finnish Cancer Registry colorectal cancer data: a comparison between registry data and clinical records.

CONCLUSION: The FCR data had good accuracy regarding tumour characteristics, but poor accuracy in treatment information. The main reason for this suboptimal accuracy was missing CRFs from treating clinicians. Awareness of these findings is crucial when research and decision making is based on FCR data. Measures have since been taken to improve the completeness of FCR recording. PMID: 33403883 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
