National information resources on gynaecological cancers
Trent Cancer Registry is the national lead cancer registry for gynaecological cancers, providing support to the NCIN Gynaecological Cancer Site Specific Clinical Reference Group (SSCRG). As part of this role, we have pulled together potentially useful sources of information on this group of cancers.
