A study of undernotification to the Stockholm Regional Cancer Registry comprised cancer diagnosed in 1978. Non-notified cases were identified by linking the cancer register with 2 independent sources of information, namely, the Swedish cause-of-death register (fatal cases) and the regional in-patient care register (nonfatal cases). The estimated deficit in the cancer register for 1978 was 4% of the total cancer incidence for that year. The unreported nonfatal cases were followed up for 5 yr, during which time more than half of the cancer diagnoses were entered on death certificates. If the cancer register had been supplemented with information from death certificates, therefore, only .apprx. 1% of all nonnotified cases would have remained unregistered 5 yr after diagnosis.
