Summary
This is the Third Annual Report of the National Oesophago-Gastric Cancer Audit. The Audit began in October 2006 with the aim of assessing the quality of care received by patients with oesophago-gastric (O-G) cancer in England and Wales. The Audit focused on patients diagnosed between 1 October 2007 and 30 June 2009, and collected information on both the process of care and patient outcomes. In this report, we describe:
• the diagnosis, the staging, and treatment planning process
• curative treatments and their short-term outcomes
• palliative oncological treatment and endoscopic / radiological palliative therapies and their short-term outcomes.
Results are presented at both a national level and by Cancer Network. We also present outcome data after curative surgery for individual NHS trusts.
