Patient and public involvement Four data sources were used: audit of the hospital clinical histories, undertaken within the framework of the Catalan cancer plan in 2016; audit of clinical histories in primary care, performed in 2018; adjusted morbidity groups (AMGs); and the Catalan Insurance Registry. Patients and public were not involved during the research. Data from the hospital audit include information on patient age, date and stage at diagnosis, histology and type of treatment and surgery.
