This toolkit provides evidence-based guidance to help clinicians assess, treat and follow-up patients with gynaecological cancer.
It supports timely, consistent and high-quality care across the cancer pathway, from initial presentation to specialist treatment and, where appropriate, transition back to local or primary care.
The toolkit covers the classification, staging and management of these cancers:
- Ovarian
- Fallopian tube
- Primary peritoneal
- Cervical
- Vaginal
It outlines recommended investigations, referral points, treatment considerations and monitoring requirements in clear, actionable terms to support clinical decision-making and safe transfer of care. Multidisciplinary teams deliver coordinated care by addressing diagnostic, therapeutic, supportive and psychosocial needs together.
Care for Aboriginal people should always be culturally safe. This includes how you engage with families, carers and community; and integrate care with Aboriginal Health Services to strengthen the Aboriginal workforce and deliver culturally appropriate care.
