| Core Tip | This is a retrospective analysis of 168 dysphagia patients, which shows that delays > 2 weeks are common (44%-50%), but early endoscopy significantly improves outcomes (84.6% vs 76.0% improvement, P = 0.012). Despite prioritised referral of malignant cases, the prognosis was dismal which underscores the importance of earlier patient presentation. Direct endoscopy within 2 weeks, mainly prioritising streamlined pathways for alarm features, could be a more cost-effective approach in management and can lead to better survival rates. | ||||||||||||||||||
