Reporting Sources and Case Ascertainment

CSPOC/SANDIOCC collects data on every resident of Orange, San Diego, and Imperial County having a diagnosis of malignancy (except basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin). The data set maintained by CSPOC/SANDIOCC on cancer cases is comprised of items required by the State Department of Health Services, augmented by those recommended by the American College of Surgeons, the SEER program of the National Cancer Institute, and interest at the regional level. Operations are highly automated, and data processing routinely includes thorough and comprehensive data edits. Quality-control measures are carried out at all phases of data collection, from case finding procedures through re-abstracting of cases and consolidation of separate reports on the same tumor in the same patient.

As part of the California-wide cancer reporting system, CSPOC/SANDIOCC receives information on all cancers diagnosed among residents of the Counties at any facility in California. CSPOC/SANDIOCC incidence data are periodically checked against State mortality files conditioned on cancer as the cause of death. In addition, case-finding audits are periodically performed in the region.
