Centre for Review and Dissemination - Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE)
Authors' objectives:
To determine the efficacy of specialised care for patients with ovarian cancer.
Authors' conclusions:The outcome of ovarian cancer was
better when treatment was provided in specialised settings (gynecologic
oncologists or in specialised hospitals) than that provided in
non-specialised settings.
CRD commentary:
"Given the limitations and the lack of reported methodology in the review process, although the results appeared promising the authors conclusion appears to be overstated."
An ovarian cancer blog which includes quality resource materials: education, research, social networking, genetics and (some) healthcare politics.
