  3. Background • Calman Hine Report 1995 • Improving Outcomes Guidance Gynaecological Cancer 1999 • SWCIS Regional Standards & Guidelines (Royal College Pathologists/ Obstetricians & Gynaecologists) -> improvement in care and outcomes ?

  4. UKCCR 2004 Aim of the Audit • Monitor treatment against standards • Have outcomes improved?

  5. Standards • Managed by gynaecologist with special interest in oncology (Regional/IOG) • Minimum dataset recorded (IOG) eg • Histological Type • Grade • ASA • Groin nodes taken if Stage >IA (Regional) • Skin - clear margins from tumour ≥ 8mm (Regional)

  6. Method • All new diagnoses squamous carcinoma of vulva (1997 to 2002) • Data collected by gynaecology specialist nurses, gynaecologists, oncologists & audit departments • Supplementary data from SWCIS information systems

  7. Results • 1997 – 2002: 435 cases squamous cell carcinoma (18 verrucous subtype) • Surgery 80% radiotherapy 9% • Stage I 33% Stage II 28% Stage III 16% Stage IV 6% not stated 16%
