NCT ID NCT05185388
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could highlight gaps in cancer care and guide policies to ensure fairer access to diagnosis and treatment for all.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study using past data, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other time periods or countries.

Exclusion Criteria: Patients with cancers of the appendix (C18.1) will be excluded. Male patients with ovarian cancer. Borderline ovarian tumours (ICD-10 site code of C56x, C57x or C48x where the morphology code is: 8442, 8444, 8451, 8463, 8473, 8472 or 8462) and (ICD-10 site code D39.1 where the morphology code is 8144, 8260, 8313, 8380, 8381, 8440, 8441, 8460, 8470, 8480, 8481, 9000, 9013, 9014 or 9015).
