A policy framework for commissioning cancer services
Open accessAbstract
Hippocrates cannot have been overconfident about the provision of care for patients with cancer. In one of his aphorisms he pointed out that patients with internal cancers who were treated survived a shorter time than those who were left alone. Some 25 centuries later informed voices have decried Britain's cancer services, some likening progress through them to the vagaries of the lottery. While this analogy is overly pessimistic, the failure of health planners to respond to the improved understanding and treatment of cancers has more than justified much of the recent criticism. Many doctors also remain ignorant of what is achievable with good cancer care, which is hardly surprising, given the low …

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
