Upper GI Cancer Pathway

This service is for suspected 2WW Cancer Referrals only. A referral letter must be attached.  Once the referral has been assessed and triaged the booking team will contact the patient to offer them an appointment (which may be face to face or a phone call). We aim to complete this within 2 working days. The appointment will be made within 2 weeks of the referral assessment request being received.

See NICE guidance.
