In Scotland, there are huge variations in patient pathways and needs following a cancer diagnosis. Scottish Routes from Diagnosis uses data shared by patients and collected by the NHS to better understand these variations.
In partnership with Information Services Division (ISD) of NHS National Services Scotland, we linked and analysed data on the experiences of over 31,000 people in Scotland diagnosed with breast, colorectal, lung or prostate cancer in 2007 and in 2012. We then developed ‘Survivorship Outcome Groups’ (OGs) – robust definitions of health outcomes that can apply across and within cancer types. The findings will be used to inform service development, helping the healthcare system adapt to the reality of living with cancer in Scotland today.
