The NCDB maintains a number of Web-based benchmarking applications that have been developed to promote access to NCDB data by the general public, researchers, and clinicians. See Terms of Use. The NCDB Benchmark Reports have been released in two formats: one designed explicitly to facilitate public use; a second for use by CoC-approved cancer programs as a tool by which to evaluate and compare the cancer care delivered to patients diagnosed and/or treated at their facility versus state, regional, and national level.
NCDB Public Benchmark Reports: These reports include the eleven most commonly diagnosed solid tumors in the United States. Users are provided access to data from six diagnosis years (1997-2001), slightly more than 3.5 million cases. Users can design queries using data from any one or a combination of three types of hospitals (community, comprehensive community, and academic/teaching facilities), and specify a geographic region or state to narrow the scope of their analysis. As many as three co-variates (including patient age, ethnicity, sex, tumor histology, stage, first course therapy and type of surgical resection) are available for users to define the type of information they wish to review.
