New Study Evaluates Effectiveness of Cancer Diagnosis Pathway for Patients with Non-Specific Symptoms A major UK study, led by researchers at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, and Oxford Cancer, has provided the most comprehensive analysis to date of a cancer diagnosis pathway for patients presenting with non-specific symptoms (NSS), such as unexplained weight loss or fatigue. These symptoms can indicate a wide range of conditions, from benign diseases to late-stage cancers, making timely and accurate diagnosis a significant challenge in primary care. https://www.cancer.ox.ac.uk/news/major-study-evaluates-effectiveness-of-cancer-diagnosis-pathway-for-patients-with-non-specific-symptoms
