In this episode we talk to Dr Sarah Bailey who is a senior research fellow with the DISCO Cancer Diagnostics Group at the University of Exeter in the UK.The title of the paper is: Association of non-malignant diseases with thrombocytosis: a prospective cohort study in general practiceRead the paper: <a href="https://doi.org/10.3399/bjgp20X713501" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.3399/bjgp20X713501</a>Thrombocytosis has recently emerged as a risk marker of undiagnosed cancer in patients in primary care. However, 89% of patients with thrombocytosis do not have undiagnosed cancer. This study estimates the link between thrombocytosis and non-malignant diseases. Primary care clinicians can use the results of this study as a clinical aid to look for and to diagnose associated diseases other than cancer in patients with thrombocytosis.
