In a review of recent studies, researchers from The Cochrane Library, reveal that specialized cancer centers may help improve survival rates for cancer patients. ,The team discovered that when women with gynecological cancer were treated in specialist centers, they lived longer than those treated in non-specialist cancer centers.
Previously, non-specialist surgeons and hospitals frequently treated individuals with cancer. At present, most cancer care in developed countries is organized into networks of specialized cancer centers. These centers have specialized nursing staff, as well as on-site experts. Even though this centralized strategy is more expensive it could improve outcomes for cancer patients.
The researchers examined data from 5 studies, involving over 62,000 women who received treatment from the late 1990s onwards. The largest study, conducted in 2009, involved more than 48,000 women, whilst the smallest study involved only 250 participants.
