NCIN Equality Metrics Report 2015
|
|
The NCIN have brought together into one central report a selection of key cancer metrics which were identified by The National Cancer Equality Initiative. The metrics selected either provide background information by equality group or analysis of cancer in relation to equality groups. By presenting these data together in one place, with a commitment to updating these data, it is hoped that this report will provide a basis for further questions to be asked about inequalities in cancer and to provide a platform to drive further analysis, especially in areas where the quality or completeness is improving.

This document summarises the progress made by the National Cancer Equality Initiative (NCEI) to date, and sets out the next steps for tackling inequalities in cancer, as well as promoting greater equality. It identifies a range of activity to be taken forward nationally and activity to be considered locally.

The Cancer Reform Strategy 2007 highlighted that the challenge in reducing inequalities in cancer is 'the lack of evidence about the extent to which different forms of inequalities exist, what causes them and what interventions will be most effective in addressing them'.
In recognition of these challenges, a National Cancer Equality Initiative (NCEI) has been set up to bring together key stakeholders from groups including healthcare professionals, the voluntary sector, academics, and equality champions to develop research proposals on cancer inequalities, to test interventions, and to advise on the development of wider policy.

Nearly 60% of Emergency Presentations resulting in a new diagnosis of cancer come through A&E, with 30% being emergency referrals from GPs.
Emergency referrals to outpatients are higher for certain cancers. Survival estimates for this group are higher than other emergency subgroups and more comparable to survival from “managed” Routes.
