Oesophageal and gastric cancer

摘要

Oesophageal cancer is a common malignancy with an increasing incidence and often poor prognosis. Symptoms can be non-specific which can lead to late presentation or delayed referral. To improve patient outcomes, GPs need to be aware of the key clinical features of oesophageal cancer and the pivotal role that early referral can play in the patient’s management and prognosis.
