Abstract
Delays caused by pre-diagnostic GI investigations do not appear to contribute to the poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer. Recently updated NICE Guidelines recommends early ultrasound or CT in patients with GI symptoms and weight loss which may reduce delays in diagnosis. Screening tests in future may become cost effective and diagnose this condition at a curable stage which in turn may improve survival rates.
