The first national AUGIS database report was produced in 2002. It consisted of data submitted from only five sources. It is gratifying that the present report is over 70 pages and includes data from over 600 operations over a 12-month period from 19 hospitals. Although we have a long way to go, this represents a great step forward. The report provides significant information, which will be of value to surgeons, patients and all those interested in cancer care provision. |

Laparoscopic cancer surgery has developed rapidly in the last three years. Techniques continue to evolve, although most published series are dominated by operations performed for relatively early stage tumours. Most of the laparoscopic or laparoscopically-assisted operations have not therefore included extended lymphadenectomy on the basis that this is almost of marginal benefit in this situation. |

The extent to which these encouraging results can be applied to the generality of UK patients, where more advanced disease and obesity play important roles, merits careful evaluation by UK surgeons. In particular encouraging results for early disease may well not be applicable to more advanced tumours. . . . . read more |
