Core Tip |
We investigated changes to routes to diagnosis for cholangiocarcinoma patients across England’s 21 regional Cancer Alliances over a 12-year period, and factors associated with differences. We found almost half (49.6%) of 22632 patients in the study were diagnosed via Emergency Presentation, a route associated with late presentation, advanced disease and poorer outcomes. Those diagnosed by Two week wait referral through a primary care doctor, where earlier diagnoses are possible, increased from 9.8-19.8% from 2006-2017, still considered low. Significant regional variation was found, alongside the discovery that age, comorbidities and underlying liver disease had independent associations with their routes to diagnosis. |
