Segmented analysis of the colorectal cancer median pathway from referral to treatment: 2013-2015 (London)

  • This project assesses the typical pathway for those diagnosed with colorectal cancer in London in the aim to understand the pathway better as this is a pathway that is typically challenged in terms of meeting the 62 day cancer waits standard.
  • The pathway is presented by the median time taken between when a patient is referred to when they are first seen in secondary care, from when they are seen in secondary care to diagnosis, from diagnosis to the patient’s first MDT meeting, and from the MDT meeting to the treatment start date.
  • The pathway is further segmented by year of diagnosis (2013-2015), sex, stage at diagnosis, age at diagnosis, ethnicity, income domain quintile, resident CCG and STP, and diagnosis trust.
