Guidance
Update information
October 2023: We updated recommendations 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.2.3 in line with NHS England's standard on faster diagnosis of cancer.
June 2015: Recommendations in section 1.1 have been incorporated into section 1.5 of the NICE guideline on suspected cancer. Recommendation 1.1.2.1 in this guideline partially replaces recommendation 1.1.1.3 in the NICE guideline on irritable bowel syndrome in adults (February 2008). This guideline was previously called ovarian cancer: the recognition and initial management of ovarian cancer.
