Randomized Controlled Trial
Patient experiences of GP-led colon cancer survivorship care: a Dutch mixed-methods evaluation.
Colon cancer survivorship care constitutes both follow-up and aftercare. GP involvement may help to personalise care. ⋯ Patients experienced a high quality of colon cancer survivorship care from both GPs and surgeons. If the GP is going to be more involved, patients require a clear understanding of roles and responsibilities.

Presenting to primary care with fatigue is associated with slightly increased cancer risk, although it is unknown how this varies in the presence of other 'vague' symptoms. ⋯ In the absence of alarm symptoms or anaemia, fatigue combined with specific vague presenting symptoms, alongside patient age and sex, can guide clinical decisions about referral for suspected cancer.
