The audit receives data on patients from Wales centrally from the Cancer Network Information System Cymru (CaNISC). These records are linked to the Patient Episode Data Wales (PEDW) to obtain further information on patient care and follow-up (the equivalent of Hospital Episode Statistic data for English patients).

The audit does not collect or analyse data for patients who were diagnosed with oesophago-gastric cancer in Scotland or Northern Ireland. The audit reports only patients from England and Wales. If you are representing a devolved nation and wish to submit data to NOGCA, please contact HQIP who will be able to advise.

We provide a list of useful external websites of cancer charities and other organisations in the Links section of the website.
