GPs should consider a more overt discussion with patients when referring them for further investigation of symptoms which may indicate cancer, according to a paper published in the British Journal of General Practice.
In an NIHR-funded study, researchers from the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Durham and Exeter conducted interviews with patients being referred for possible lung and colorectal cancer.

By assessing the impacts of a range of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, the research has shown that the growth of edible crops can be affected by these chemicals – even at the very low concentrations found in the environment.
Published in the Journal of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, the research focused its analysis on lettuce and radish plants and tested the effects of...
There is no intelligence to suggest organised child sexual exploitation networks are operating in Devon, according to a detailed new report.
But child exploitation is still likely to be happening in the county on a daily basis, according to the report.
However neither the police nor the county council currently hold enough information on the issue to take effective preventative action.
And the report calls for an urgent new database to be set up to record and map instances of child exploitation so that prevention work can be targeted in ‘hot-spots’.
When push came to shove, it was Bath who emerged triumphant in a pulsating Aviva Premiership encounter with Exeter Chiefs at the Recreation Ground.
With little to choose between either side for much of the game, it was Mike Ford’s gladiators who ultimately prevailed in the famous Roman City.
