Background
To ensure earlier and accurate diagnosis, reduce the chances of dismissal, broader treatment access, reduced surgical demand, improved fertility and quality of life.
Proper classification would support earlier detection, continuous management plans, multidisciplinary care, better insurance coverage, and greater prioritization in research funding, reduce delays, and ease the heavy economic burden on patients, the NHS, the workforce and society at large.
