SUMMARY:Assessment of data completeness in the National Cancer Registry an
 d the impact on the production of Cancer Survival Statistics - Josephine F

CONTACT:Dr Vivien Gruar
DESCRIPTION:We are seeking a new perspective in the assessment of data com
 pleteness in the Cancer Analysis System (CAS)\, which holds the data from 
 the National Cancer Registry\, and how this impacts on the production and 
 development of cancer survival statistics\, on which we (PHE) collaborate 
 with the Office for National Statistics (ONS). These statistics are releas
 ed on an annual basis for the Department of Health (DH) and other external
  stakeholders.\n\nIn this internship\, there will be elements of learning/
 training which will be provided by the supervisors.\n\nThe project will in
 volve a combination of the following\, depending on the intern’s interes
 ts\, or an alternative project if proposed by the intern and mutually agre
 ed:\n\n* Structured querying of national cancer database.\n* Analyse and p
 roduce a report on the patterns of missing data.\n* Develop algorithm(s) u
 sing multiple imputation methodology to deal with issues of missing data.\
 n* Produce Cancer Survival Statistics using the methodology developed for 
 the Official Statistics publications in conjunction with the implementatio
 n of the newly developed algorithm(s) to deal with missing data.\n* To con
 duct a sensitivity analysis of the impact of the Cancer Survival Statistic
 s from missing data.\n* Produce a peer-reviewed publication or internal re
 port on the impact of missing data on Cancer Survival Statistics.\n
