Most women with ovarian cancer receive inadequate care and miss out on treatments that could add a year or more to their lives, a new study has found.
The results highlight what many experts say is a neglected problem: Widespread, persistent flaws in the care of women with this disease, which kills 15,000 a year in the US. About 22,000 new cases are diagnosed annually, most of them discovered at an advanced stage and needing aggressive treatment. Worldwide, there are about 200,000 new cases a year.
"If we could make sure that women get to the people who are trained to take care of them, the impact would be much greater than any new chemotherapy drug or biological agent," said Dr Robert E Bristow, the director of gynecologic oncology at the University of California, Irvine, and lead author of the new study NYT News Service.
