Have national guidelines for ovarian cancer diagnosis and management been developed and implemented, and if so, on what date did this occur?

Answer

Health New Zealand and the Cancer Control Agency continue to explore opportunities relating to ovarian cancer diagnosis and management. I am advised that work to improve ovarian cancer outcomes continues to take place with the priority being on building cross-tumour infrastructure that directly supports consistent, high-quality cancer care. I am further advised that Health NZ and the Cancer Control Agency consider that the Optimal Cancer Care Pathways, alongside reporting and follow-on quality improvement plans, currently provide the most effective national mechanism for driving improvements in cancer care.
