All.Can Patient Survey

23 Figure 1. Was your cancer diagnosed as part of a routine screening programme, or as part of a screening programme for an unrelated health problem? For all respondents, regardless of whether their cancer was detected through screening, diagnosis was one of the main areas where they reported the greatest inefficiency. When asked to select the one area of cancer care where they experienced the most inefficiency, 26% of respondents chose diagnosis – more than any other area of cancer care. As might be expected, this was highest among respondents whose cancer was diagnosed outside of screening ( 31% ), compared to 18% among respondents whose cancer was detected through a routine cancer screening programme and 13% among respondents whose cancer was detected through screening for an unrelated health problem.
