Translating risk models to improve prevention and early diagnosis of cancer in primary care [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Jon Emery (Principal investigator)

Brief description Primary care plays a key role in prevention and early diagnosis of cancer. This fellowship will apply evidence about cancer risk to help GPs provide tailored advice to patients about preventing common cancers. It will also use new risk tools to assess people with symptoms suggestive of cancer to support earlier diagnosis. The research extends to studies relating to how people interpret symptoms and ways of promoting earlier presentation to the GP in patients who are at higher risk of cancer.
