Dr Ali Abbas Hasham, Harrow Primary Care Cancer Lead, and Specialist Jonathan Hoare, Head of Endoscopy at St Mary’s and Imperial College Hospitals, will be sharing their knowledge and experience on diagnosing Upper GI cancers and discussing how cases often present at late diagnosis stage in emergency care.
Before a Q&A session with participants, they’ll discuss key red flag symptoms primary care staff can look out for including; indigestion, loss of appetite, weight loss and difficulty swallowing. They’ll also run through the various scans and tests you can refer patients for, to support earlier diagnosis.
