How many more years do we have to put up with accepting no improvement in the % of people diagnosed with advanced oesophago-gastric cancer? @lesssurvivable NOGCA-State-of-the-Nation-Report-September-2025.pdf

With 6000 UK achalasia patients, this report from Achalasia Action shows the devastating effect of misdiagnosis for a rare condition. Earlier referral from GPs for barium swallow would make huge difference. Achalasia_Action_Misunderstood-mistreated-and-fighting-to-be-heard.pdf

With incidence of 1.6 per 100K pa #achalasia is a rare disease, but 'Misunderstood, Mistreated and Fighting to be Heard' report by Achalasia Action shows importance of GPs referring dysphagia patients for specialist examination achalasia-action.org
