A report warns that too many people don’t get symptoms of cancer because they don’t want to bear the NHS to become “martyrs” because they don’t want to bear the burden of the NHS, and the report requires earlier testing to diagnose people at higher risk.
Through health consultation on critical health, the report elaborates on ways in which the NHS in England can capture more cancers as early as possible, thereby saving lives by becoming more “early intervention services”. It is the first source of its first dedicated cancer strategy since 2015.
Evidence shows that among people with potential signs of cancer in the UK, not disturbing GP is more common than in other countries. In the UK, you don't want to waste your doctor's time.
Cancer experts urge people with symptoms such as fatigue, bleeding and weight loss to urgently study, so if there is fatigue, bleeding and weight loss, they can start treatment as soon as possible.
Failure to act quickly can help explain the UK’s bleak record through international standards to diagnose cancer early. Despite the rising survival rates for cancer, the UK still lags behind other countries, despite initiatives that encourage people to take symptoms more quickly.
“If something doesn’t work for them, you shouldn’t be discouraged from going to a doctor. They won’t “disturb” their GP or “burden” the NHS,” said Naser Turabi, director of Cancer Cancer UK Science of Science toceration of Science and Strie and Explanation.
It is crucial to overcome reluctance to seek help if the UK is to diagnose more cancers before and during the transmission and before they are more repairable, the report said. It was written by Incisive's Mike Birtwistle, who interviewed doctors, senior NHS staff and key figures in cancer during the study.
"Because you don't want to bother with GP or overload NHS, no one wants people with cancer symptoms to become martyrs. Too many people avoid asking for help because they know how much NHS stretches.
"This kind of difficulty in protecting the NHS has caused too many people to be diagnosed in the late stages, damaging their chances of survival."
The report said the NHS should “mobilize the symptoms and symptoms of cancer.” “The public awareness of signs and symptoms should also continue to be leveraged and – most importantly, motivate them to take action. Experts stress that people often have conditions that are unwilling to “disturb” the NHS.”
It stressed that GPs can also prevent patients from having their exams because they don’t want to increase the stress of hospitals that are already under stress. “Primary health care professionals have played a role in protecting NHS resources before, which can prevent help from being sought.”
The study found that it takes longer than many other countries to diagnose cancer. Macmillan Cancer Support Analysis found last year that survival rates lag behind the survival rates in other European countries at most, thus losing lives.
Due to aging population and lifestyle factors such as obesity and alcohol, the number of people diagnosed with cancer in the UK each year has increased to 412,400 seconds per year (every 90 seconds). About 167,000 people die every year - 460 people die every day from heart disease.
The report shows that the NHS has been failing to meet its target to diagnose 75% of cancers in phases 1 and 2 between 2018 and 2024, and only 60% were found by that time.
But it can increase early detection by
Prostate cancer screening is provided to men at a higher risk of disease, including black men and men with family history or mutations in specific genes.
Extend the examination of lung cancer to people who are exposed to passive smoking or who live in a high-pollution field.

Evaluate people diagnosed with diabetes and weight loss.
Expand liver health checks, which have been provided to some people at higher risk for liver cancer and are available in GP surgery, homeless shelters and sexual health clinics.
Drugs that assess the health of people with esophageal esophageal lesions to deal with stomach acid are called proton pump inhibitors because this increases the risk of esophageal cancer.
Birtwistle said the government should use its upcoming decade-old health plan and embed the cancer plan into cancer testing methods in the NHS.
But the NHS should focus on improving attendance in its three cancer screening programs — breast, bowel and cervical cancer — before introducing screening programs that may not be based on good evidence, Turabi said.
He said hospitals should provide more convenient dates, more online bookings and at-home testing kits for those who avoid cervical screening.
"There is strong evidence that early detection of cancer leads to better treatment and survival, so we should redouble our efforts to make the community as easy and as convenient as possible for preventive and early detection services," said Sarah Woolnough, CEO of Kings Fund Thinktank.
Sir Stephen Powis, NHS England’s National Medical Director, said there are more diagnosis and treatments in NHS than ever before. The diagnosis of one or two phases is about one or two phases, about 7,300 people were diagnosed before the pandemic.
"There are many reasons that people are reluctant to stand up because they don't recognize the key signs and symptoms of cancer and don't want to unnecessarily burden the NNS," Powis said.
Powis added that health services are improving early diagnosis by providing lung tests to smokers and former smokers in high-tech mobile scanning trucks in supermarket parking lots. They resulted in thousands of people being diagnosed earlier than what had happened before.
