Assisting clinicians to assess the risk from a colorectal malignant polyp
using population wide data from Queensland, Australia
Colorectal Malignant Polyps are a treatment dilemma - should patients undergo colorectal resection or can they be safely managed with polypectomy alone?
Our Data
Using the data from the Queensland Oncology Repository, we aimed to improve the care of patients diagnosed with a colorectal malignant polyp. We have published extensively on the historical management of malignant polyps in Queensland, Australia. Using this big data, we have developed an online risk-calculator to help clinicians in explaining the risk posed by malignant polyps.
Queensland Oncology Repository
In Queensland, Australia reporting of all malignancies to the Queensland Cancer Registry (QCR) is mandated by law. This data is managed by Cancer Alliance Queensland.
Population Wide
Cancer Alliance Queensland links the data from QCR with over 60 other population level sources including hospital admissions, treatment, public and private pathology and mortality data into the Queensland Oncology Repository.
Advanced Algorithms
Using advanced statistical knowledge and partnerships with other leading pathology providers we used this data to power a world first online risk calculator for malignant polyps.
