1968- 1985年期间，在英国对17，000名直接向研究者报告恶性肿瘤的妇女进行了癌症登记的完整性评估。在报告的325种癌症中，到1987年年中，有281种（86.5%）已经登记。登记不足的情况在区域癌症登记处之间差异很大。在44例未登记的癌症中，有8例（18%）在私人医院接受治疗。登记不足的情况也因癌症地点而异：150例乳腺癌中只有8%没有登记，在占所有肿瘤79%的地点，登记不足的情况不到15%;但是，40%的黑色素瘤（20例）和50%的肺癌（6例）没有登记。在281例登记的肿瘤中，只有219例（78%）从南港的NHSCR通知了研究人员，自诊断以来的中位滞后时间为2.5年。有一种趋势是，向研究者通知登记的癌症变得更加迅速，但不那么完整。
The completeness of cancer registration in England for the period 1968-85 has been assessed in a cohort of 17,000 women who reported malignancies directly to the investigators. Of 325 cancers reported, 281 (86.5%) had been registered by mid-1987. Under-registration varied considerably between regional cancer registries. Eight (18%) of the 44 unregistered cancers were treated in private hosptials. Under-registration also varied considerably with cancer site: only 8% of 150 breast cancers were not registered, and at sites accounting for 79% of all tumours, under-registration was less than 15%; however, 40% of melanomas (20 cases) and 50% of lung cancers (6 cases) were not registered. Of 281 registered tumours, only 219 (78%) were notified to the investigators from the NHSCR at Southport, with a median lag-time of 2.5 years since diagnosis. There has been a tendency for notification of registered cancers to the investigator to become more prompt but less complete.
