Call for
Government to urgently address late diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
NATIONAL charity Pancreatic
Cancer UK are calling on the Government to urgently address late
diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in order to significantly improve
survival of the disease, ahead of November's Pancreatic Cancer
Awareness Month. In particular, the charity would like to see a
commitment to reducing the number of diagnoses made via emergency
presentation.
Currently over half of all pancreatic cancer diagnoses in England
are made as a result of an emergency presentation; double the
average rate of all cancers; and often resulting in late diagnosis
and poor patient experience. In comparison, only 5% of breast
cancers and 10% of prostate cancers are diagnosed via an emergency
route.
In Merseyside and Cheshire, 267 people are diagnosed with the
disease each year, and 47% of diagnoses are made via an emergency
presentation.
Furthermore, pancreatic cancer, which has the worst 5-year survival
rates of the 21 most common cancers (only 4% survive), is predicted
to replace breast cancer as the fourth biggest cancer killer by
2030. Pancreatic cancer is currently the 5th most common cause of
cancer death in the UK with about 7,900 deaths per year.
The charity's research shows if pancreatic cancer diagnoses as a
result of emergency presentation were reduced to 25% in England, and
these patients were diagnosed via the Two Week Wait route, as many
as 150 additional patients would survive for a year or longer.
Survival rates for patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer via an
emergency route are very low with one-year survival at only 9%
compared to 26% for those diagnosed as a result of a GP referral.
A detailed analysis by Pancreatic Cancer UK of the Department of
Health 2011/12 National Cancer Patient Experience Survey shows that
pancreatic cancer patients in England, on most fronts, still have a
considerably poorer NHS experience than almost every other cancer
patient group.
Pancreatic cancer patients report longer waits to get referred to
hospital by GPs than any other cancer group and are almost twice as
likely as any other cancer patient group to experience worsening
health whilst waiting to be seen at hospital. Once in hospital,
pancreatic cancer patients are less likely than any other cancer
patient to feel that staff did everything they could to control
pain.
Alex Ford, Chief Executive of Pancreatic Cancer UK, comments:- "With
pancreatic cancer on course to overtake breast cancer as the 4th
biggest cancer killer in the UK, we must do more to improve early
diagnosis. It is especially important that we tackle the significant
numbers of patients diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease as
a result of an emergency presentation."
Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month 2013 sees the launch of Pancreatic
Cancer UK's new campaign, Every Life Matters. The charity believes
every life lost to pancreatic cancer matters and wants to create a
better future for every single person diagnosed with the disease.
As part of its campaign, the charity has published a report:-
'Every
Life Matters' - the real cost of pancreatic cancer diagnoses via
emergency admission in which it is calling on the Government to:-
► Commit to halve diagnoses of pancreatic cancer as a result of
emergency presentation - with a short term three-year target of
reducing this by 10%
► An urgent audit of patients diagnosed via an emergency route to
establish exactly how many cases might be avoided in the future and
to identify actions to increase the number of patients diagnosed
earlier through more appropriate routes
► Implementation of tools to help GPs identify patients sooner who
require further investigation
► Access for GPs to more appropriate pathways, for example, single
points of referral from primary to secondary care for coordination
of diagnostics and rapid access jaundice clinics. This would help to
improve survival, reduce treatment delays as well as the number of
expensive bed-days incurred as a result of emergency admissions.
