NCT ID NCT03246516
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 258 adults with untreated oeso-gastric cancer to understand how factors like income, education, and personal beliefs affect the time between first noticing symptoms and seeing a doctor. Researchers measured the median delay from symptom onset to first consultation. The goal is to identify barriers to early diagnosis and improve cancer care pathways.
