Well done the National bowel cancer audit @NBOCA_CEU @NATCAN_news for delivering one of the first national hospital level outcome reporting programmes for medical oncology practice. This can be applied to other systemic therapy regimens including IO.
NEW INDICATOR ALERT! 💊Nationwide, 22% of patients experience acute toxicity following adjuvant chemotherapy. Variation from 0% to 38% between hospitals 🎯Important area for further QI work
