Figure 7.1

Medline citations for cancer-related health services research, 1980-1997. Research citations  were identified in the NLM's Medline database using the MESH heading "neoplasms"  (for cancer) and any one of the following major MESH headings "health services research,"  ''quality of health care," and "quality assurance." The last terms encompass cancer citations  addressing guideline adherence, outcomes and process assessment, accreditation, and health  planning. Only articles published in English are counted.

Figure 7.2

Medline citations for cancer-related health services research as a percentage of all  cancer citations, 1980-1997. Percentages were calculated as the number of cancer-related  health services research citations (as described in Figure 7.1) divided by the total number  of citations identified using the "neoplasms" MESH term alone, for each given year. Only articles  published in English are counted.
