Summary

This study analyzes data from over 45,000 people diagnosed with colon or ovarian cancer in England between 2016 and 2017. Researchers are looking for differences in how quickly people are diagnosed and what treatments they receive, based on their socioeconomic status. The goal is to identify inequalities in cancer care so that steps can be taken to make care more equal for everyone.
