ENCR LIST OF INDICATORS AND THEIR AVAILABILITY: COMPARISON BETWEEN EUROPE AND US LIST OF INDICATORS PROPOSED BY EUROCHIP Each indicator was discussed by groups of experts of different expertise in prevention, cancer registration, screening, treatment and health economy, who described it by its general presentation, operational definition, meaning, possible use, caveat, modalities of classification, possible source, standardisation and validity.

C Final goal of EUROCHIP was to find information able to describe differences and also to promote action that would reduce inequalities in managing cancer. This last is the core of the ongoing EUROCHIP-2 project. A: Availability for large part of Europe; B: US Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, NIH, National Cancer Institute. CANCER PROGRESS REPORT 2001; C: Surveillance Research Program, National Cancer Institute. SEER*Stat software Version 5.0.17 (www.seer.cancer.gov/seerstat) *: From OECD Health Data 2002 It will be really useful to compare European data with American ones. Today this is possible for some European countries and for traditional epidemiological measures, but it is important to highlight that many indicators proposed by EUROCHIP are already available in US. To reduce inequalities across Europe, some countries have to prioritise action on prevention, others on care, others on surveillance. However, it is vital for each countries’ success in the fight against cancer, that the trans-national European nature of the study is maintained at all levels of data collection, data analysis, problem evaluation, and action. EUROCHIP-2 will add value to each countries actions by stimulating data comparison (also with US data) and providing a unified International/European imprimatur to cancer action. EUROCHIP-2 will try to: SET UP DATA COLLECTION ANALYSE THE BEHAVIOUR OF VARIOUS INDICATORS IN RELATION TO THEIR UTILITY IDENTIFY DEFICIENCIES IN EUROPEAN HEALTH SYSTEMS ENCOURAGE ACTIONS TO REDUCE INADEQUANCIES IN CANCER CONTROL
