[MI] Urgent suspected cancer referrals: Referral, conversion and detection rates
- Frequency:
- Yearly
- Geographic Coverage:
- England
Summary
The interactive tool provides data on urgent suspected cancer referrals (commonly known as, two-week wait referrals). These referrals can be used for people with possible cancer symptoms, to refer them to secondary care for investigation and possible diagnosis.
The tool reports crude referral rates, conversion rates and detection rates, by financial year. These rates provide insights into the volume of referral activity and the contribution of these referrals to diagnostic pathways. This information should improve the understanding of cancer diagnostic pathways and inform resource or intervention planning.
The rates are provided by combinations of geographies, suspected cancer sites, and demographic groups.
