Early diagnosis of cancer focuses on detecting symptomatic patients as early as possible, so they have the best chance for successful treatment. My population-based research program aims to identify patients a higher risk of delayed diagnosis to support targeted interventions. In this talk, I will share results from two of my current projects: an NCI funded study of diagnosis of cancer in the emergency department among U.S. Medicare beneficiaries and a CDC-funded study of delayed diagnosis for ovarian cancer patients in North Carolina.
