The Royal College of General Practitioners has put forth in their report that GPs are the reason if the cancer patients are not able to cope with the disease.
The reason for this is that the GPs are not able to pick up the symptoms of cancer as quickly as they should be doing. It is a known fact that as soon as doctors would recognize the symptoms of cancer, the more chances a patient has for his survival.
As per the report, doctors were not able to assess the real problem due to which they sent more than 33% of cancer patients back home, saying that they some minor illness.
This lead their condition got severe and after repeated visits, they were refereed to hospitals. It is something quite strange as not one or two, but tens and thousands cancer patients were sent back home just because GPs were not able to recognize cancer symptoms.
This could come as one of the reasons for Britain to be lagging behind in the race in comparison to other European countries. Britain is slowly losing its battle against better cancer survival rates and as per reports, its cancer survival rate has gone lower than Slovenia and the Czech Republic and other Western Republic countries.
GPs said that they have been passing through a dilemma where they get confuse about judging cancer symptoms, as initial symptoms of cancer is not different from some other minor illness.
There are times when doctors do doubt that their patient might be having cancer, and in order to confirm the status they have to wait for weeks to get patient checked in hospital.
Authors of the study were of the view that patients could take second opinion about their health status and doctors should also not delay in recommending their patients to hospitals.
One thing which doctors should keep in their mind is 'Early diagnosis can make a real difference cancer survival'.
