Commentary: Primary care and diagnosis of cancer : The Lancet Oncology



Primary care and diagnosis of cancer : The Lancet Oncology

"..........These findings raise several questions. Do modes of cancer presentation vary systematically between different groups of patients? Are general practitioners more reluctant to refer young or non-white patients for investigation of possible cancer? Are participants in these groups less willing to accept a referral to investigate possible cancer? Lyratzopoulos and colleagues' study will raise concerns for those involved in diagnosing and treating patients with cancer. This descriptive study suggests several hypotheses concerning pathways to accessing cancer care that deserve to be tested prospectively in future research."
