The National Cancer Database (NCDB) is a large clinical oncology database developed with data collected from Commission on Cancer (CoC)-accredited facilities. The CoC is managed under the American College of Surgeons, and is a multidisciplinary team that maintains standards in cancer care delivery in health care settings. This database has been used in multiple cancer-focused studies and reports on cancer diagnosis, hospital-level, and patient-related demographics. The focus of this review is to explore and discuss the use of NCDB in colorectal surgery research. Furthermore, our aim for this review is to formulate a guide for researchers who are interested in using the NCDB to complete colorectal research.
国家癌症数据库(NCDB)是一个大型临床肿瘤学数据库,它是通过收集来自癌症委员会(CoC)认证机构的数据而建立的。CoC由美国外科医师学会管理,是一个多学科团队,负责维持医疗机构癌症护理服务的标准。该数据库已用于多项以癌症为重点的研究以及关于癌症诊断、医院层面和患者相关人口统计学的报告。本综述的重点是探讨和讨论NCDB在结直肠手术研究中的应用。此外,我们进行本综述的目的是为有兴趣使用NCDB完成结直肠研究的研究人员制定一份指南。
