abstract: Comparing diagnostic delay in cancer: a cross-sectional study in three European countries with primary care-led health care systems (UK, Netherlands, Sweden)



Conclusions. A large-scale study comparing cancer delays in European countries and based on primary care-held records is feasible but would require supplementary sources of data in order to maximize information on demographic variables, the cancer stage at diagnosis and treatment details. Such a large-scale study is timely and desirable since our findings suggest systematic differences in the way cancer is managed in the three countries.
