PY - 2017 DA - 2017/05/25 TI - Time to endoscopic intervention in patients with upper gastrointestinal patients can be improved with pathway provision JO - BMC Cancer SP - 365 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Patients with upper gastrointestinal malignancy often require admission to hospital with dysphagia or jaundice requiring therapeutic endoscopy. Endoscopic intervention is often effective permitting rapid discharge. An efficient service would permit rapid discharge for patients who are often at the end of life. We noted that a majority of patients in hospital under the gastroenterological oncology were admitted with symptoms requiring therapeutic endoscopy.
