Cancer Referral Overview Page¶

Overview¶

Clicking a Referral ID in the Referral Grid opens the Cancer Referral Overview page.

This page provides a snapshot of a cancer referral, with access to key information and functionality.

Section	Description
Patient Summary	Displays the Referral ID and summary information for the patient.
Referral Priority	Indicates the priority assigned to the referral, such as “Routine” or “Urgent”.
Case Status	Shows the interpretation status, e.g., whether a Summary of Findings (SoF) is available.
Workflow Status	Reflects the current workflow stage of the referral.
Patient	Links to TOMS. If available, the Patient Identifier (PID) will be queried and displayed here.
Interpretation Flags	Describes the flag added for the case, e.g. the TINC status of the sample. For further information on flags, please refer to the Cancer Genome Analysis Guide.
Interpretation Services	Lists the interpretation services that have been applied to the case.
Sex	Displays the biological sex of the patient.
Patient Choice	Indicates whether the patient has consented to testing (Yes), declined (No), or if patient choice is not applicable (NA).
Interpreting Organisation	Organisation that performed the interpretation, as defined during test ordering.
Requesting Organisation	Organisation that requested the test, as defined during test ordering.
Notes	Any notes added during the test ordering process.
Cancer Decision Support System	Link to the Cancer DSS platform for decision support.

The Cancer Referral Overview enables users to review and close referrals following the cancer workflow:

Link to the Cancer Decision Support System (cDSS)

In addition to the Primary and Supplementary HTML files, users can link to the Cancer DSS to review variants.

Creating SoFs in cDSS

In BSVI, users could create a new Summary of Findings (SoF), but this led to duplicated work. In the new cDSS, creating a SoF is not possible. The HTML report generated by the bioinformatics pipeline should be used as the Summary of Findings. See the cDSS user guide for more information.
Submitting the Cancer Referral Feedback form

To close a case and record the clinical outcomes, users must complete a Reporting Outcomes Questionnaire (RoQ), also known as an Exit Questionnaire. Note that if a case has been closed in the cDSS, the Feedback form can no longer be completed in the Portal.
Download Files

Files associated with the referral, including the Primary and Supplementary HTML reports, can be downloaded from the Referral Overview page.

Additional cancer-related files and VCFs can also be downloaded from the main cancer case page.
