CanCORS Research Process

The CanCORS Consortium consists of seven Primary Data Collection and Research (PDCR) sites and a Statistical Coordinating Center (SCC). Each PDCR site identifies patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer or colorectal cancer. The SCC assists the PDCR sites in developing the survey instruments and collecting the standardized core data across the individual research sites. It also serves as the central repository for the analysis of pooled data.
