<p>Reducing inequalities and variation in cancer treatment is a priority for the Government,
as is increasing early cancer diagnosis, as both are key contributors to reducing
cancer health inequalities. The National Health Service is improving cancer pathways
to get people diagnosed faster once referred, and is looking into alternative routes
into the system, including non-specific symptom (NSS) pathways for patients who do
not fit clearly into a single urgent cancer referral pathway, but who are at risk
of being diagnosed with cancer. This will help support faster ovarian cancer diagnosis.
113 NSS pathways are currently operational, with more in development.</p>
