A large sample of cancer patients was reviewed over a two-year period (1978-1979) in 31 general and community hospitals representing five Italian regions, differing in terms of health care organization. Two thousand four hundred and six patients had breast cancer, 1692 lung cancer, 303 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, 277 ovarian cancer and 235 Hodgkin's lymphoma. Relevant information was collected from medical records through specific pre-standardized and tested forms. The paper discusses the results obtained with respect to (a) general descriptive data of the population; (b) completeness and reliability of recorded data (e.g. staging, histological classification, therapy); and (c) accuracy and completeness of the follow-up. Consistency of the information obtained on selected items with published series of patients suggests that this methodology is worth a wider testing as a simple, inexpensive tool for routinely monitoring the care of cancer patients and the impact on it of organizational and educational interventions.
在代表意大利五个地区的31家综合医院和社区医院中，对一大群癌症患者进行了为期两年（1978 - 1979年）的回顾。这些地区在医疗保健组织方面存在差异。其中，2406例患者患有乳腺癌，1692例患有肺癌，303例患有非霍奇金淋巴瘤，277例患有卵巢癌，235例患有霍奇金淋巴瘤。通过特定的预先标准化且经过测试的表格从病历中收集相关信息。本文讨论了关于以下方面获得的结果：(a) 人群的一般描述性数据；(b) 记录数据的完整性和可靠性（例如分期、组织学分类、治疗）；以及(c) 随访的准确性和完整性。在选定项目上获得的信息与已发表的患者系列的一致性表明，作为一种简单、廉价的工具，用于常规监测癌症患者的护理以及组织和教育干预对其的影响，这种方法值得更广泛的测试。
