Cancer care for women 'has stalled'

PROGRESS in ovarian cancer care has “completely stalled” a charity has warned.

- 

It comes as a new audit revealed that about four in ten women (41%) in England and Wales were only diagnosed after their symptoms were so severe that they sought emergency care in hospital.

The national ovarian cancer audit also highlighted how significant numbers of women with the disease are only diagnosed once their disease had spread to another part of the body - making it harder to treat.

In England, some 32% of cases were diagnosed at this stage in 2022.
