Summary
This is a publication on the lessons learned on the feasibility of a national ovarian cancer clinical audit utilising only existing cancer registry, Systemic Anti Cancer Therapy (SACT) and Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data.
Highlights
The Ovarian Cancer Audit Feasibility Pilot (OCAFP) was a three-year collaboration between the gynaecological oncology clinical community, the charity sector and NHS Digital, conducted over the period from 2019 to 2023.
This project summary report provides an overview of these projects, their impact on clinical practice and patient outcomes, and the limitations of the routine data sources that prohibited or limited some aspects of the project. The learning presented in this report is not only intended to support the development and scoping of the forthcoming national ovarian cancer audit, but also others seeking to utilise the national cancer data resources for the analysis of ovarian cancer, and those looking to utilise existing data items for other cancer sites and diseases. We believe that this is the first feasibility pilot of its type in England.
