The National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), a joint project of the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons and the American Cancer Society, is a cancer management and outcomes data base for health care organizations. It provides a comparative summary of patient care that is used by communities and participating hospitals for self-assessment. The most current (1994) data are described here.
Six calls for data have yielded a total of 4,580,000 cases for the years 1985-1994. A total of 1735 hospital cancer registries have each participated in at least one of the calls for data.
Summing the last year's report from each of the 1227 hospitals that participated in 1994, the cases represent the equivalent of 57% of the estimated 1994 U.S. cancer cases. These data were received from all six regions of the country, including all 50 states. Ninety-seven percent of patients received all or part of their treatment at the reporting hospital. The four most common cancers are carcinomas of the breast (15.7%), lung (14.3%), prostate (13.1%), and colon (7.7%), and collectively they comprise a majority of new cases.
The NCDB is a cancer management and outcomes data base for health care organizations that currently provides data on 57% of the estimated new cases in the U.S. Past data have been used extensively to assess patterns of care and outcomes.
美国国立综合癌症网络（NCDB）是美国外科医师学会癌症委员会和美国癌症协会的联合项目，是一个面向医疗机构的癌症管理与结局数据库。它提供了患者护理的比较性总结，供社区和参与的医院进行自我评估。此处描述的是最新（1994年）的数据。
六次数据征集共获得了1985 - 1994年期间的4580000例病例。共有1735个医院癌症登记处至少参与了一次数据征集。
汇总1994年参与的1227家医院中每家医院的上一年报告，这些病例相当于1994年美国估计癌症病例的57%。这些数据来自美国所有六个地区，包括所有50个州。97%的患者在报告医院接受了全部或部分治疗。四种最常见的癌症是乳腺癌（15.7%）、肺癌（14.3%）、前列腺癌（13.1%）和结肠癌（7.7%），它们共同构成了大多数新发病例。
NCDB是一个面向医疗机构的癌症管理与结局数据库，目前提供美国估计新发病例中57%的数据。过去的数据已被广泛用于评估护理模式和结局。
