Supporting people with active and advanced disease

• Need better data collection

• Discussion at MDT – new diagnosis support

• Identify best practice

• Early palliative care support improves quality and quantity of life

What is the economic evidence behind survivorship?

‘Routes from Diagnosis’ is a way of linking and analysing routinely collected data

Maps the cancer journey from diagnosis through to death

Describing health outcomes i.e. survival times, incidence, prevalence of cancer and non related cancer morbidities.

Tells us how patients interact with the system e.g. interaction with health care services, when, how long and cost

All patients reach one of these outcome groups – taking different routes from diagnosis

Designing effective Service Solutions

Exciting new research• Macmillan working with NCIN and Imperial College London to produce evidence on main drivers of cancer costs.

• Cost data will allow comparison of alternative pathways of care.

• Investigate variation in costs in England across lung, breast, prostate and bowel cancer:

• Economic burden of cancer

• Differences in the cancer care pathways and their effects on patient survival and costs

• Cost of emergency admissions of patients with cancer

Supporting people with active and advanced disease

• Need better data collection

• Discussion at MDT – new diagnosis support

• Identify best practice

• Early palliative care support improves quality and quantity of life

Key survivorship messages

• A shift in professional culture is essential to enable supported self management.

• New models of cancer aftercare gives opportunities to improve quality and reduce cost.

• Many people can self manage their health with support, with rapid access to professionals when needed.

• There is significant unmet need arising from consequences of treatment, which can be successfully addressed through prevention and treatment.

• Good survivorship care requires timely communication across boundaries.
