Ovarian cancer care in UK is '15 years behind' other rich countries
The Observer
|September 28, 2025
Women in the UK with ovarian cancer are less likely to receive timely treatment than patients in similar countries where survival rates are higher, new research has found.
Only 59.3% of patients received chemotherapy for ovarian cancer in England compared with 75% in areas of Canada, according to the study by the International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership (ICBP).
The UK was also much slower in diagnosing ovarian cancer than health services in Norway, Canada and Australia, and older women were much less likely to get chemotherapy.
The findings, say experts, underline the urgency of devising a new national cancer plan, which the health secretary, Wes Streeting, has promised will be published in the autumn. It is expected to set out measures on prevention, early diagnosis and treatment. NHS England has not met its target of 85% of patients waiting a maximum of 62 days from referral to treatment since 2015. The latest figure is 69.2%.
