Ovarian cancer survival in the UK lags behind comparable countries. Results from the ongoing National Ovarian Cancer Audit feasibility pilot (OCAFP) show that approximately 1 in 4 women with advanced ovarian cancer (Stage 2, 3, 4 and unstaged cancer) do not receive any anticancer treatment and only 51% in England receive international standard of care treatment, i.e.

- The National Cancer Survivorship Initiative in the UK is focusing on patient-initiated follow-up (PIFU) for cancer care, moving away from long-standing hospital-based follow-up methods, which have not proven to improve survival rates.
- Evidence shows that traditional follow-up systems do not adequately address patient needs, leading to a call for new, tailored pathways that focus on individual patient circumstances.
- The British Gynaecological Cancer Society aims to create guidelines for implementing PIFU in gynecological cancers to standardize care and enhance the overall patient experience.
Background: The diagnostic accuracy of colposcopy is poor for detecting precancerous cervical lesions.
Objectives: We assessed the performance of colposcopy for identifying cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+), before and after including a dynamic spectral imaging (DSI) map that quantifies and maps acetowhitening to assist subsequent biopsy of suspicious lesions.
Methods: Four hundred and twenty-five women were examined at a multi-center setting in Wales, of which 393 women were included in the final analysis.
