KOVA - Kvalitet i Ovariecancer behandling efter indførelse af internationale kvalitetsindikatorer
Short summary
The European Society for Gynecologic Cancer has defined indicators for Ovarian Cancer Treatment but it is unknown whether these indicators reflect quality assessed as progression free and over-all survival. In this study we collect data on quality in treatment and survival in patients treated at danish centers. Data will be compared to those obtained in other European cancer centers.
Rationale
Ovarian Cancer is often advanced at the time of diagnosis and patients need treatment with cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy. Despite this extensive treatment the majority of patients suffer from recurrence and a bad prognosis. Quality indicators for optimal treatment have been defined in Europa but it is unknown wheter these indicators reflect quality in terms of survival. This study aims to evaluate quality of treatment provided for ovarian cancer patients in Denmark. The results will be compared to those obtained at other european cancer centers.
Description of the cohort
250 women diagnosed with advanced Ovarian Cancer in the first and second quarter of 2020, 2021 and 2022. Both primary diagnosis and treatment as well as recurrent disease atn tretament for this will be recorded.
Data and biological material
Data will be obtained fro the patient files.
