I'm wondering if it's possible to understand dates of recurrent diseases in Summary Diagnoses of UKB. For example,
an individual was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2010.
and again diagnosed with lung cancer (same ICD code) in 2017.
For this question, you may contact access@ukbiobank.ac.uk. Please let us then know if you get any answer, I would be also interested to get more info about this.

In Cohort Browser, you may work with fields such as:
Reported occurrences of cancer
http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=40009
Date of cancer diagnosis
http://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=40005
Type of cancer: ICD10
https://biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk/crystal/field.cgi?id=40006
You can also explore all the Database tables programatically using Spark based JupyterLab:

I'm not sure this category has recurrent cancers.

I've understood that cancer register category (https://biobank.ndph.ox.ac.uk/showcase/label.cgi?id=100092) covers all episodes of cancers. But non-cancer category just covers summary of diagnosis (https://biobank.ndph.ox.ac.uk/showcase/label.cgi?id=2002). So if we want to have access to the fully reported data by hospitals we need a different category called record-level access (https://biobank.ndph.ox.ac.uk/showcase/label.cgi?id=2006) - this category is complicated and needs to be clean.
