Objective: Emphasis on improving healthcare quality has led to centralization of services for patients suspected of ovarian cancer.

Participants: Patients that were treated for ovarian cancer within the University Medical Center Groningen in 2013 and 2014. Intervention: Introduction of an MCN to centralize services for patients suspected of ovarian cancer. Main Outcome ...
