BCOR (Bowel Cancer Outcomes Registry) reports treatment outcomes for patients diagnosed with bowel cancer in Australia and New Zealand.
Bowel cancer is the second commonest cancer in Australia and New Zealand for both genders. Since 2007 BCOR (formerly BCCA) has collated and analysed treatment outcomes provided to over 48000 patients to help health services, clinicians and patients provide the best possible standard of care and make the best choices around treatment strategies. Participation in the audit is voluntary and patients may opt out at any time.
BCOR’s Goal
BCOR seeks to develop a comprehensive clinical registry across Australia and New Zealand to improve the quality of care provided to patients diagnosed with bowel cancer which is the third commonest cancer by incidence.
BCOR’s Objectives:
- Assess patterns of care
- Reduce variation in treatment and outcome
- Improve compliance with best-practice guidelines for the treatment of bowel cancer
- Identify factors that predict favourable and unfavourable treatment outcomes, particularly in relation to major adverse effects
- Provide information to patients about the risks and benefits of specific approaches to bowel cancer treatment.
