Description

Diagnosis and treatment of cancers such as leukaemia and myeloma poses unique challenges. In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, MIMS Learning editor Pat Anderson talks to haemato-oncologist Dr Majid Kazmi about how GPs and specialists can work together to build on progress in this area.

• Understand the heterogeneity of haematological cancers
• Appreciate important differences in staging and treatment between haematological and other cancers
• Recall key pointers on symptoms, patient history, and presentation patterns that could suggest haematological cancers
• Reflect on how outcomes for patients with haematological cancers have changed in the last 20 years
• Make best use of referral pathways for haematological cancers
