GPs Talk Cancer

In episode 9 we ask: What is the head and neck cancer risk in people who have a higher intake of caffeinated coffee? (Hint: The answer may surprise you). We delve into research, statistics, and real case studies to identify common and vague red flag symptomology clinicians should be aware of to support the earlier diagnosis of head and neck cancer – and how using the right safety netting language can make all the difference.   You can access the guidelines and studies referenced here.  Accessibility: Access the full episode transcript here.GPs Talk Cancer is the podcast series from GatewayC.
