A sister volume to Cancer Registration: Principles and Methods, this practical manual helps registries to assure quality control.
Comparability, completeness and validity are discussed, with the aim of enabling registry staff to assess the quality of their
data and compare it with others. The software programme, check, which is supplied on diskette, is a useful tool for checking the
validity and consistency of computerised registry data. The revised edition, now available, includes full-colour figures, enhancing
the value of this popular report.
