Upper GI cancers have some of the lowest survival rates out of all major cancers. They are often only diagnosed late due to vague/non-specific symptoms. There are no early detection tests or population-based screening programs. Patients often present to a GP multiple times with various symptoms before receiving a diagnosis. For many, a diagnosis can come as a complete shock as symptoms may have been vague and they didn’t feel critically unwell. Delays from symptom onset to referral indicate the need for further education of the public and GPs on symptoms warranting urgent referral. This educational activity focuses on increasing awareness of stomach and oesophageal cancers with regards to prompt patient identification and optimal referral within 2 weeks for investigation and specialist review.
