An essential aspect of cancer registration is data quality. Data quality for Cancer Registries has been reviewed in this paper using four main criteria (comparability, validity, timeliness, and completeness). Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant English articles published from inception until December 2022. Each study was analyzed for its characteristics, measurement method, and data quality features. According to the present study, the majority of articles evaluated the completeness feature, and the fewest evaluated the timeliness feature. A completeness rate of 36% to 99.3% and a timeliness rate of 9% to 98.5% were observed. Standardizing metrics and reporting of data quality is necessary to maintain confidence in the usefulness of cancer registries.
癌症登记的一个重要方面是数据质量。本文使用四个主要标准（可比性、有效性、及时性和完整性）来审查癌症登记处的数据质量。通过 Medline（通过 PubMed）、Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库搜索了从成立到 2022 年 12 月发表的相关英文文章。对每项研究的特点、测量方法和数据质量特征进行了分析。根据本研究，大多数文章评估了完整性特征，而最少评估了及时性特征。观察到的完整性率为 36%至 99.3%，及时性率为 9%至 98.5%。标准化指标和数据质量报告对于保持对癌症登记处的有用性的信心是必要的。
