Critical items for assessing risk of lung and colorectal cancer in primary care: a Delphi study. (2014)
Journal Article
Mansell, G., Shapley, M., van der Windt, D., Sanders, T., & Little, P. (2014). Critical items for assessing risk of lung and colorectal cancer in primary care: a Delphi study. British Journal of General Practice (BJGP), 64, Article 625. https://doi.org/10.3399/bjgp14X681001

Background Patients with lung or colorectal cancer often present late and have a poor prognosis. Identifying diagnostic indicators to optimally assess the risk of these cancers in primary care would support early identification and timely referral fo...
