NSW Oncology Group: NSWOG

NSW Oncology Groups were established by the Cancer Institute NSW in August 2005, to bring together the state's lead cancer clinicians, patients and planners.

11 tumour specific, 6 discipline and 3 joint advisory committees have been established to:

Develop best-practice methods and pathways for clinical care and review standard treatments
Identify data needed to monitor outcomes and to improve cancer outcomes in NSW
Promote sub specialised knowledge and education for each type of cancer
Promote participation in clinical trials.

NSWOG reports to the Cancer Services Advisory Committee and the Quality and Clinical Effectiveness Committee of the Cancer Institute NSW.NSWOG is supported by a secretariat provided by the Cancer Institute NSW.

The Cancer Institute NSW is supporting a number of key activities identified by NSWOG as the main area of importance in their cancer field.
