TL;DR: This Commission considers how this expanding role for primary care can work for cancer control, which has long been dominated by highly technical interventions centred on treatment, and in which the contribution of primary care has been largely perceived as marginal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yin Zhou,Gary A. Abel,Gary A. Abel,Willie Hamilton,Kathy Pritchard-Jones,Cary P. Gross,Fiona M Walter,Cristina Renzi,Sam Johnson,Sean McPhail,Lucy Elliss-Brookes,Georgios Lyratzopoulos,Georgios Lyratzopoulos,Georgios Lyratzopoulos +13 more
TL;DR: The extent, causes and implications of a diagnosis of cancer following an emergency presentation are described, and recommendations for public health and health-care interventions, and research efforts aimed at addressing this under-researched aspect of cancer diagnosis are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Explaining variation in cancer survival between 11 jurisdictions in the International Cancer Benchmarking Partnership: a primary care vignette survey

TL;DR: A correlation between the readiness of PCPs to investigate symptoms indicative of cancer and cancer survival rates is demonstrated, one of the first possible explanations for the variation in cancer survival between ICBP countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preferences for cancer investigation: a vignette-based study of primary-care attendees
TL;DR: People in the authors' sample expressed a clear preference for diagnostic testing at all risk levels, and individuals want to be tested at risk levels well below those stipulated by UK guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prostate Cancer in Primary Care.
TL;DR: Clinicians need to counsel men about the risks and benefits of PSA testing to inform their decision-making, and alternative tests such as multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) are currently being trialled for their accuracy and safety in diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer.
