Does changing healthcare use signal opportunities for earlier detection of cancer? A review of studies using information from electronic patient records

Becky White et al.

Summary: This review examined studies on pre-diagnostic changes in healthcare utilization among patients subsequently diagnosed with cancer. The findings show that changes in healthcare use can be observed at least six months before diagnosis for many common cancers, and even earlier for certain types of cancer like colorectal cancer, multiple myeloma, and brain tumors. Early changes were also identified for specific sites within the brain and colon. This suggests that improvements in diagnostic technologies or services could help shorten the diagnostic intervals for cancer detection.

Primary care use by men with symptoms of possible prostate cancer: A multi-method study with an ethnically diverse sample in London

Tanimola Martins et al.

Summary: The study found that while half of the men reported a solitary first symptom, multiple symptoms were also common, especially among Asian and Black men. There were no differences between ethnicities in patient interval or time from presentation to investigation. However, Asian men were offered less PSA testing opportunities. Qualitative data revealed ethnic differences in general practitioners' attitudes towards DRE and PSA testing, highlighting limitations in doctor-patient communication and safety netting.
