This #SystematicReview found that earlier diagnosis is possible for many non-neoplastic conditions Some diseases, such as Parkinson’s, were found to be detectable years before diagnosis doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2… Behavioural Science & Health UCL The UCL Institute of Health Informatics UCL IEHC @glyratzopoulos Spiros Denaxas 🦆 Becky White

Absolutely brilliant explanation of the difficulties we face when trying to measure improvements in early cancer detection 👍

So happy to say I passed my PhD viva with minor corrections this week! Thank you so much to my wonderful supervisor YoryosLyratzopoulos and supervisory team, Cristina Renzi, Matthew Barclay, Dr Meena Rafiq, and Arturo Gonzalez-izquerdo

How much earlier could different diseases be diagnosed, as shown by patients' changing healthcare use at a population level?

New paper on variation in blood test use by symptom presentation in patients subsequently diagnosed with cancer (link: doi.org/10.3390/cancer…). I am grateful for the support from Greg Rubin Gary Abel Ruth Swann Sean McPhail Sarah Moore YoryosLyratzopoulos CanTest John

Can common GP blood tests help triage which patients with abdominal symptoms need further cancer assessment? Come and visit me at stand 46 on day 2 of the Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK #EdConf23 to learn more! Behavioural Science & Health UCL UCL

What is the risk of cancer in patients with fatigue and how does that compare to other diseases? If you're at the CRUK early detection conference, come say hi! Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK Behavioural Science & Health UCL #EDxConf23

Which cancers present with well defined symptoms and which are harder to diagnose?

At Cancer Research UK we’ve made huge progress on cancer over the last 50 years – but cancer is still the defining health issue of our time. Today we’ve launched our #CancerManifesto outlining the steps the next UK Government must take so that people can live #LongerBetterLives. Visit our

No. 10 #BJGPTop10 – Cancer risk and fatigue: tiredness plus weight loss or abdominal pain could be signs of cancer in older patients    doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2… Becky White Matthew Barclay @Glyratzopoulos Behavioural Science & Health UCL

Most cancers are found after GP referral, but any one GP rarely finds a cancer. A central challenge for primary care detection - finding the needle in the haystack, avoiding overdiagnosis, over-treatment, and waste of scarce resource. #CRUKEDConference24

Should we revisit the 3% referral threshold used by NICE to recommend urgent cancer referrals? Matthew Barclay present age-sex-smoking risks for cancer following different symptoms Cancer Research UK Health Professionals #CRUKEDConference24

Enjoyed my time presenting what we know about cancer risk in patients with fatigue - thanks to funding from ACED and Science and Innovation at Cancer Research UK

It’s #sarcomaawarenessmonth! The most common symptoms of sarcoma are bone pain or a soft tissue lump. We have developed a guide for GPs to help know which patients with these symptoms need to be investigated. Learn more with Dr Meena Rafiq and VCCC Alliance bjgplife.com/173

Thanks Union for International #CancerControl for inviting me to speak at #WCC2024 about detecting cancer in patients with fatigue!
