Summary
This is the 2012 Annual Report of the Second National Oesophago-Gastric Cancer Audit (NOGCA). It builds on the procedures and findings of the First National Oesophago-Gastric Cancer Audit that began in October 2006.
The results presented in this report are based on an organisational survey of Cancer Networks and NHS organisations (trusts in England and boards in Wales), and further analysis of data from patients diagnosed in the First NOGCA. The further analysis addresses the following issues:
• Patterns of referral of oesophago-gastric cancer patients
• Long-term outcomes for patients receiving curative treatment
• Completion rates of palliative chemotherapy
• Hospital admissions of patients on a best supportive palliative care pathway
