  • Most cancers develop because of DNA

damage that can happen because of things in our lifestyle and environment.

  • The biggest risk factor for cancer is age

– half of cases in the UK are diagnosed in people aged 70 and over.

  • Risk factors in our environment

(tobacco, alcohol, UV) can damage our DNA, increasing our risk.

SO…………ABOUT CANCER

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY EARLY DIAGNOSIS?

slide-11
SLIDE 11

  • “Cancer that’s diagnosed at an early stage, before it’s had the

chance to get too big or spread is more likely to be treated

  • successfully. If the cancer has spread, treatment becomes

more difficult, and generally a person’s chances of surviving are much lower”

IN A NUTSHELL….

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

CANCER CASES ARE RISING

As our population ages, the number of cancer cases are expected to rise:

  • 2% increase in the incident rate

between now and 2035

  • In 2035 over 500,000 cases of cancer

will be diagnosed every year

MALES FEMALES PERSONS OBSERVED CASES = SOLID PROJECTION = DASH

ONLY 54% OF CANCERS ARE DIAGNOSED AT AN EARLY STAGE THERE IS VARIATION IN STAGE DISTRIBUTION BY CANCER TYPE

DIAGNOSING CANCERS EARLY COULD MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE TO SURVIVAL

WHEN IT COMES TO SURVIVAL, WE’RE LAGGING BEHIND OTHER COUNTRIES

For 4 types of cancer, survival was lower in Denmark and the UK

  • The majority of people

diagnosed through an emergency route are diagnosed at a late stage (stage IV) when the prognosis is poorer

AND A FIFTH OF PATIENTS ARE STILL BEING DIAGNOSED BY AN EMERGENCY ROUTE

WHAT IS DONE IN YOUR PRACTICE TO ENCOURAGE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?

‒ Are there any services in the practices? ‒ Who speaks to the patients about living a healthy life? ‒ Where do you signpost people to for on-going support? ‒ What help do you have for patients to stop smoking?

TWO VERSIONS AVAILABLE

KEY DIFFERENCES

– GP version accessible on doctors.net via www.doctors.net.uk/oralcancer – Dental version available via www.doctors.net.uk/oct – 2 differences:

  • CPD accreditation for GPs by the RCGP
  • CPD accreditation for dentists by the BDA
  • Examination video based in the relevant clinical

setting

SUMMARY

slide-29
SLIDE 29

29

  • Diagnosing cancer earlier will give more patients the option
  • f potentially curative treatments and an improved

experience

  • Progress has been made, but we still lag behind other

countries when it comes to cancer survival

  • We need a multifaceted approach to have the maximum

impact - changes need to be implemented at a national and local level
