Are there inequalities in ovarian cancer diagnosis and treatment in England? A population-based study
In this large cohort of patients with ovarian cancer in England, we demonstrated that patients from more deprived areas are less likely to receive surgery or chemotherapy and wait longer to commence treatment. Further research is needed to understand why and what evidence-based actions can reduce these inequalities in treatment and timeliness.
