SLIDE 2 Use of Population Stage Data

SLIDE 3 ONTARIO 13 Million Larger than France and Spain Combined
The Stage- Path Project provides a rich dataset
information for Ontario
SLIDE 4 Stage Project goal is to expand to population based stage data capture
Baseline (2007)
Ontario
Actual (2008)
- - 47% stage capture
- - 74% stage capture
90% of all cancer cases are staged Target (2009) Final Target
SLIDE 5 90% of Ontario pathology reports completed in January 2011, were synoptic

Indicators for screening
SLIDE 8
20% Colorectal Cancer IV
SLIDE 9
75% Lung Cancer III or IV
SLIDE 10
Indicators for resourses
SLIDE 11
Lung Cancer by Region The distribution of stage IV cancer ranges from 43% to 54%
SLIDE 12 Stage Distribution and Regional Variation
- The health care needs of the region for
treatment costs, palliative care costs may be higher in regions were there is more stage IV cancer than others
SLIDE 13
Indicators for resection rates by stage
SLIDE 14
Region Variation in treatment - Surgery
SLIDE 15 Region Variation in treatment - Surgery
- The rate of surgical resection in non small
cell lung cancer in Ontario varies from 13% to 28%
- This could be explained by more early
cases in the LHIN with the higher rate
- Linking surgical treatment to stage show
that in one region 54% of stage I patients have surgery compared to 78% in another LHIN
- Other explanations must be looked for
SLIDE 16
Indicators of treatment rates by stage
SLIDE 17
The percentage of stage II and IIIA resected cell lung cancer treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy or both
SLIDE 18 Regional Variation in Treatment Guideline Concordance
- Ontario has a mature program in
Evidence-Based Care
- Adjuvant platinum based chemotherapy is
recommended in completely resected stage II and III non small cell lung cancer
- Compliance overall is 56% but varies from
32-66%
- The reasons for this can be investigated
and further physician education is required
SLIDE 19
Indicators of survival rates by stage
SLIDE 20
The one year relative survival by stage at diagnosis by LHIN and Ontario for non small cell lung cancer
SLIDE 21 Regional Variation in Survival
- Survival by stage and region can be
determined
- One year survival in patients with stage IV
cancer varies by region from 15%- 31%
- Reasons for this require further
investigation
SLIDE 22 Conclusions
- Adding stage data to other data collected
by a cancer program greatly enhances that data
- It can be used to measure the
effectiveness of screening programs, determine health care needs by region and determine variations in treatment practice
- Further communication and investigation
- f data quality and clinical practice is
needed to assist with better understanding the variations detected
