Using available data and clinically-led assumptions we estimate phases in the survivorship population Number of peopleExample Pathways

Using this model we can estimate pathways in different geographies (breast, colorectal and lung) E.g. Northern Ireland Pathways

Breast cancer care pathway Colorectal cancer Lung cancer Estimating numbers for Northern Ireland 7

End of primary treatment date Date of treatment related illness Date of recurrence Type of treatment Date of DS1500 offer What else do we need to know? Risk stratification Staging 8
