National Pancreatic Cancer Audit (NPaCA)

Programme overview

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. This audit will be a really important tool, helping the audit team to accelerate national efforts to improve the care and treatment of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The audit will gather real world information from databases across England and Wales, allowing better comparisons to be made, and revealing where shortfalls need to be addressed. For more information please see the audit website link above.
