Experiences along the diagnostic pathway for patients with advanced lung cancer in the USA: a qualitative study

Morhaf Al Achkar et al.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the diagnostic experiences of patients with advanced lung cancer carrying oncogenic mutations. Patients typically went through three stages: patient interval, primary care interval, and secondary care interval. Obtaining tissue samples and genetic testing were crucial for confirming diagnosis and guiding targeted treatments.

Combining simple blood tests to identify primary care patients with unexpected weight loss for cancer investigation: Clinical risk score development, internal validation, and net benefit analysis

Brian D. Nicholson et al.

Summary: Our study aimed to identify the clinical features that can be used together to stratify patients with Unexpected Weight Loss (UWL) based on their risk of cancer. We used data from 63,973 adults to predict cancer in patients with UWL. Clinical prediction models showed that combining symptoms and tests or using tests-only model had improved discrimination and clinical utility compared to symptoms-only model.
