- This paper examines a national audit on mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgeries in England, analyzing treatment patterns and quality of life outcomes post-surgery.
- A total of 16,485 women participated, revealing that 21% underwent immediate reconstruction, with notable regional disparities in this rate.
- The study concluded that while patient satisfaction was high, there is a need to address the variations in reconstructive practices across different healthcare providers to improve consistency in care.
Background: This study is an update on an earlier article in 2007 to assess the implementation of the Cancer Plan reform strategy in England and Wales.
Findings: A national online survey to upper gastro-intestinal leads at network and trust level. The questionnaire was designed based on existing clinical practice guidelines and addressed governing principles and operational procedures related to the delivery of cancer care.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the route to diagnosis, patient characteristics, treatment intent and 1 -year survival among patients with oesophagogastric (O-G) cancer.
Setting: Cohort study in 142 English NHS trusts and 30 cancer networks.
Participants: Patients diagnosed with O-G cancer between October 2007 and June 2009.
Background: Oesophago-gastric cancer services in England have been extensively reorganised since 2001 to deliver a centralised, specialist-led service. Our aim was to assess how well the National Health Service (NHS) in England met organisational standards for oesophago-gastric cancer care.
Methods: Questionnaires that asked about the provision of staging investigations, curative and palliative treatments and key personnel were sent in September 2007 to the lead clinician for oesophago-gastric cancer at all 30 cancer networks and 156 NHS acute trusts in England.
