I think the survival rate implies something about the time from onset to diagnosis

It can't. It's unfeasible. There's no way to know the time of onset. If there's no data point, you can't track it. The closest you could get would be the onset of symptoms. And, with many cancers, by the time you have symptoms, you usually have had it for a long time and may be already circling the drain.

Even if you could identify the onset, what critical info would that give you about the quality of the health care system?
