TL;DR
The patient consultation questionnaire depends on history alone and is easily reproducible and in conjunction with the weighted numerical score, which removes operator bias, it can be used as an accurate system for prediction of symptomatic colorectal cancer.

This paper refines the statistical comparison of the areas under two ROC curves derived from the same set of patients by taking into account the correlation between the areas that is induced by the paired nature of the data.

A rule for predicting a distal location of cancer using multiple logistic regression was developed and will remind physicians to keep colorectal cancer on the differential diagnosis of “chronic” gastrointestinal symptoms, and may prompt earlier investigation with colonoscopy.

188 Citations1979Holly Holliday, J D Hardcastle
Patients with colonic carcinoma were admitted for emergency treatment, 76% having already consulted their doctor about symptoms on one or more occasions, and hospital delay consisted mainly in waiting for investigations, poor quality barium enemas, and inadequate sigmoidoscopy.

Greater vigilance is required in the investigation of patients presenting with iron‐deficiency anaemia, as patients with delays in diagnosis had survival rates not significantly different from those who presented early.

10 Citations1979Elias A.K. Alsabti
periodic CEA determination in the patients who have undergone resection of colonic cancer may detect tumor recurrence that is at a treatable stage and patients in whom the immediate postoperative CEA concentration returns to normal have a much lower incidence of recurrent cancer of the colon than patients whose CEA level remains elevated.
