Welcome to QCancer®

Welcome to the QCancer® site. These tools are designed to assess the risk of a patient having an existing, but as yet undiagnosed, cancer. The calculators take account of the patient's age, sex, family history, medical history and symptoms. The tools are intended to be used by doctors in a health care setting.

Most of the research underpinning this work has already been published (the exception, QCancer(Renal) is "in press"). As the academic papers make clear, the scores have already been validated in an independent sample by the authors. A fully independent external validation by the Oxford University team of Collins and Altman has already been completed and will be published in 2012.

These scores have been developed for the UK population, and are intended for use in the UK. All medical decisions need to be taken by a patient in consultation with their doctor. The authors and ClinRisk Ltd accept no responsibility for clinical use or misuse of this score.

Each score is password protected until its publication.

The QCancer® scores: Additional cancer scores will be added as they are developed and published.

This enables a symptom based approach to assessing a patient's risk of having one of the cancers as yet undiagnosed.
