this graph from our latest paper in Nature Comms shows how risk of cancer varies with levels of commonly used liver function tests. Its particularly valuable addition to the cancer prediction algorithms given the huge number of these blood tests every year www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New algorithms can help GPs predict which of their patients have undiagnosed cancer

Two new advanced predictive algorithms use information about a person's health conditions and simple blood tests to accurately predict a patient's chances of having a currently undiagnosed cancer, inc...

The #research used the anonymised electronic health records of 7.4 million adults in England plus the results of 7 routine blood tests to create the new algorithms which could revolutionise how cancer is detected in primary care, and make it easier for patients to get treatment at earlier stages.

The NHS currently uses prediction #algorithms, such as the QCancer scores, to combine relevant information from patient data and identify individuals deemed at high risk of having a currently undiagnosed cancer, enabling GPs and specialists to call them in for further testing.

Researchers from @qmul.ac.uk and the @ox.ac.uk have created 2 new advanced predictive algorithms which use health data and routine blood tests to accurately predict a patient’s chances of having a currently undiagnosed #cancer, including hard to diagnose liver and oral cancers.

Delighted our NEW paper on improved algorithms (CandPredict-ED) to help early diagnosis of cancer has just been published in Nature Comms. www.qmul.ac.uk/media/news/2... @qmul-wiph.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @oxprimarycare.bsky.social @medsci.ox.ac.uk
