Recent hospital diagnosis data were valid for identifying incident cases for six of the twelve most common cancer types. The level of identification was generally higher for cases aged < 80 years, those with known disease stage and cases living in higher socioeconomic areas.

Since 2006, the Agency for Clinical Innovation (ACI, formerly the Greater Metropolitan Clinical Taskforce), and the Cancer Institute NSW have partnered to support the GMCT Gynaecological Oncology (GO) Network. Two resources which have been produced as a result of this partnership include Best Clinical Practice Gynaecological Cancer Palliative Care 2008 Guidelines (the Guidelines) and Meeting the Needs of Women with Ovarian Cancer DVD (the DVD).
