Patterns of diagnostic testing for OG cancer related symptoms including cost analysis of testing
Project Details
Symptoms associated with cancer, referred to as 'cancer symptoms,' often share characteristics with non-cancer conditions commonly seen in general practice. The diversity of potential diagnoses in primary care, combined with low cancer prevalence, can result in significant testing variations, the full extent and implications of which remain unclear.
This project aims to enhance our understanding of diagnostic testing patterns for common upper gastrointestinal symptoms associated with oesophagogastric cancer in Victorian general practice.
