JKJames A. KayeLDL E DerbyMMMaría del Mar Melero-Montes

Key Points

  • To compare breast cancer incidence rates from the General Practice Research Database with national cancer registration data in the UK.
  • Analyzed breast cancer incidence rates among women aged 35–69 from 1990 to 1996
  • Compared data from the General Practice Research Database with Office for National Statistics cancer registration data
  • Incidence rates from the GPRD were closely similar to those from ONS
  • GPRD serves as a valuable resource for studying breast cancer incidence and treatment outcomes

Abstract

Breast cancer incidence rates in the UK from 1990 to 1996 among women aged 35–69 estimated from the General Practice Research Database (GPRD) were closely similar to those reported by the Office for National Statistics from cancer registration data (ONS). The GPRD is a valuable and up-to-date resource for further study of the incidence of breast cancer in the UK as well as changes in cancer treatment and their relation to survival trends. © 2000 Cancer Research Campaign http://www.bjcancer.com
