Cancer 3.1 Rationale
Most general practitioners will see patients with a new cancer
diagnosis following assessment and management in a secondary or tertiary care
setting. A cancer review is an opportunity to cover the following issues:
• the patient’s individual health and support needs (this will
vary with e.g. the diagnosis, staging, age and pre-morbid health of the patient
and their social support networks)
• the co-ordination of care between sectors.

Cancer 3.2 Reporting and verification
The practice reports the number of patients with cancer diagnosed
in the last 18 months with a review recorded in the six months after diagnosis.
Verification may involve randomly selecting a number of case records
of patients in which the review has been recorded as taking place to confirm
that the two components have been undertaken and recorded.
