Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership 18 June 2018
- The National Audit of Breast Cancer in Older Patients (NABCOP) was commissioned to evaluate the quality of care provided to women aged 70 years or older by breast cancer services in England and Wales from the point of initial diagnosis to the end of primary treatment, and to provide information on the comparative performance of NHS breast cancer units.
- The report describes how these patterns of care differ between women in younger (50-69yrs) and older (>70yrs) age groups, distinguishing between three main groups of breast cancer.
