Summary:According to the SEER program, detection of tumors <1cm has dramatically increased from 25% (1988-1989) to 39% (2008-2009) of the number of patients diagnosed with thyroid cancer (9). Since active surveillance management would require patients to be followed up throughout their life, the TCC aims to encourage patient involvement in their own care. According to their analysis, population-based cancer registries and health systems-based registries are effective in demonstrating the following: trends in cancer incidence nationally; survival status and cause of death data; and elucidating the geographical data with respect to new cancer cases. [...]auto-population of pathology reports and laboratory reports to other EHRs is another way to enhance record keeping (5).
