LSHTM 147d ago

Researchers at LSHTM ICON and Newcastle University used anonymised GP records to investigate whether certain combinations of symptoms, illnesses, or health problems occur more frequently in individuals who are later diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. By identifying these symptom patterns, we hope aim to enable earlier triage and referral for diagnostic tests, increasing the likelihood of earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment. This animation explains the PCRF funded research project, how we used the data and involved public contributors to reach our findings.
