GPs Talk Cancer

Gastro and Oesophageal Cancer – "Let's talk about LEGO-C"

Listen on

Episode notes

In episode 2 we cover gastro and oesophageal cancers. Our GPs question how we can best ‘think cancer’ when patients present with vague symptomology. Weight loss, difficulty swallowing, and abdominal pain are some of the key areas covered – with useful safety netting questions shared to provide our listeners with increased confidence when considering cancer as a differential. This episode also covers Barrett’s oesophagus, the impact of radiotherapy from other cancer groups and key risk factors.  

You can access the guidelines and studies referenced here.
