Visiting

The aim of the service is to establish a vague symptoms clinic for all primary care patients with non-specific signs or symptoms which may suggest cancer but that do not fit a traditional two week wait (2WW) tumour-specific pathway. In line with the Faster Diagnosis Standard (FDS) the Non-Specific Symptoms (NSS) cancer service aims to diagnose patients within 28 days.

 

Conditions we treat

We are a rapid diagnostic service for patients with non-specific symptoms of cancer. We will refer patients onwards for treatment. If a patient is diagnosed with cancer we will refer to the appropriate specialist team. Some patients with a non cancer significant diagnosis will be referred by us to the hospital specialists.

 

Treatments we offer

We will refer patients to other hospital specialists for treatment. Treatment may include medication, chemotherapy , radiotherapy or surgery.
