EGPRN Study

Örenäs-EGPRN Early Diagnosis of Cancer Survey Study

Research question

In patients with symptoms that could suggest cancer: Where do patients present? What factors affect GPs’ decisions to refer patients for further investigation (specialist opinion or special investigation)? How do these compare across different European countries, and how does this relate to 1-year cancer survival rates?
