This short report aims to explore how best to capture adjuvant chemotherapy use with linked Hospital Episode Statistics Admitted Patient Care (HES-APC) and Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) datasets by evaluating:
- whether information from the datasets can be combined to reliably capture adjuvant chemotherapy use in stage III colon cancer patients and
- whether information from the datasets can be combined reliably to capture the number of cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage III colon cancer patients.
