A comparison of clinical follow-up and therapeutic outcomes is not possible without all the specialists involved having a uniform „speech“. For oncologists, the unifying elements include the TNM classification of malignant tumours, staging classification and an effort to define the prognostic factors. The type and aggressivity of treatment are selected based on our knowledge of both the given and additional parameters. National registry databases allow for comparing data from large cohorts and thus for modifying the strategy of diagnosing and treatment in particular cases. Data collection and its quality are dependent upon a „mere“ completion of the oncological report.
