Computers can combine minor symptoms, blood tests and age into a cancer risk score in the background. Showing that score to the GP could get more people referred earlier.
QCancer and similar algorithms exist but are rarely used because they need manual entry. Propose EHR-embedded, passively computed risk scores with a threshold-triggered prompt, tested in a randomised trial with stage at diagnosis and emergency presentation as endpoints, following the template of the UK ERICA cluster trial.
