1/ Tiredness combined with other ‘vague’ symptoms like weight loss or abdominal pain could be a sign of cancer in older patients who visit their GP. New study in https://t.co/j78CrMWuqy with @GLyratzopoulos, @MattBarclay89 & Cristina Renzi. @BJGPjournal @CR_UK @CRUK_policy

Great first day of the @CanTest_PC summit today. Fantastic to see the progress in research into early cancer diagnosis in primary care.
Still plenty to do, including unpacking the different functions of safety netting, as explained by @GeorgiaBBlack in today’s final session.

Delighted to see that our work on the use of FIT during the pandemic is on the top 10 list from @BJGPOpen. A fab team to work with @PCUCancerGrp
