1/ Tiredness combined with other ‘vague’ symptoms like weight loss or abdominal pain could be a sign of cancer in older patients who visit their GP. New study in bjgp.org/content/early/2023/… with @GLyratzopoulos, @MattBarclay89 & Cristina Renzi. @BJGPjournal @CR_UK @CRUK_policy

Great first day of the @CanTest_PC summit today. Fantastic to see the progress in research into early cancer diagnosis in primary care.
Still plenty to do, including unpacking the different functions of safety netting, as explained by @GeorgiaBBlack in today’s final session.

The current testing pathway for ovarian cancer in primary care was recommended by NICE over a decade ago. We've learnt a lot since then. Can we do better? Here's a new take from @FunstonGarth, @fmw22, @ProfEmmaCrosbie, @BoomboomchiefsT, @CanTest_PC: bjgp.org/content/72/720/312
