Timeliness of abstracting (and reporting) is a concern for all standard-setting organizations and consequently, timeliness standards have been established. This item can be used with the Date of 1st Contact [580] or the Path--Date of Specimen Collection [7320] to measure timeliness of reporting by individual reporting facilities to central cancer registries. This data item also can be used with the Date Tumor Record Availbl [2113] to measure timeliness of processing within the central cancer registry...
