Part of the National Cancer Audit Collaborating Centre (NATCAN), this programme is helping to accelerate national efforts to improve the care and treatment of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It gathers real world information from across England and Wales, allowing better comparisons to be made, and revealing where shortfalls need to be addressed.
Pancreatic cancer is one the least survivable cancers, with virtually no improvement seen in survival rates in the UK over 40 years from the 1970s.” NPaCA website
Supporting improvement
