Cancer Final Technical Report - Fall 2018 Cycle 

The National Cancer Institute estimates that in 2018, 1.7 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, and over 600,000 people will die from the disease. In the Fall 2018 cycle of this project, the Standing Committee evaluated two newly submitted measures and one measure undergoing maintenance review against NQF’s standard evaluation criteria. One of the new measures was recommended for endorsement; one was not recommended for endorsement. A final endorsement decision for the maintenance measure was deferred to the Fall 2019 cycle.
