Cancer Research Wales say care should improve if GPs get better at spotting symptoms more quickly.
"That eased my mind in a way. So for a year I was going back and forth to the doctor with the same symptoms.
"It was a huge shock, especially after spending so much time going back and forth to see the GP but then a year later finding out I had stage three cervical cancer," she said. The Think Cancer initiative encourages primary care providers to take a uniform approach to dealing with potential cancer symptoms.
"If we can transform primary care into centres of diagnostic excellence for cancer then we will make a significant improvement at the very first point of patient contact."If we can diagnose cancers earlier, they're much more easy to manage and cure and also the cost of treatment overall is significantly reduced."
National cancer clinical director Prof Tom Crosby said: "Whilst we encourage the public to come forward with signs and symptoms of cancer we also need to ensure the system is enabled to meet this demand. Currently it is not and our cancer outcomes are poor.

Role of mitochondrial alterations in human cancer progression and cancer immunity - Journal of Biomedical ScienceDysregulating cellular metabolism is one of the emerging cancer hallmarks. Mitochondria are essential organelles responsible for numerous physiologic processes, such as energy production, cellular metabolism, apoptosis, and calcium and redox homeostasis. Although the “Warburg effect,” in which cancer cells prefer aerobic glycolysis even under normal oxygen circumstances, was proposed a century ago, how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to cancer progression is still unclear. This review discusses recent progress in the alterations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and mitochondrial dynamics in cancer malignant progression. Moreover, we integrate the possible regulatory mechanism of mitochondrial dysfunction–mediated mitochondrial retrograde signaling pathways, including mitochondrion-derived molecules (reactive oxygen species, calcium, oncometabolites, and mtDNA) and mitochondrial stress response pathways (mitochondrial unfolded protein response and integrated stress response) in cancer progression and provide the possible therapeutic targets. Furthermore, we discuss recent findings on the role of mitochondria in the immune regulatory function of immune cells and reveal the impact of the tumor microenvironment and metabolism remodeling on cancer immunity. Targeting the mitochondria and metabolism might improve cancer immunotherapy. These findings suggest that targeting mitochondrial retrograde signaling in cancer malignancy and modulating metabolism and mitochondria in cancer immunity might be promising treatment strategies for cancer patients and provide precise and personalized medicine against cancer.
