This pathway is for patients with symptoms that don't easily fit into another pathway.
These symptoms may include:
- New unexplained and unplanned weight loss
- New unexplained and significant symptoms of four weeks or more. Symptoms MUST be new and MUST NOT be chronic or long-standing. Can include loss of appetite, fatigue, nausea, malaise, bloating.
- New, unexplained serious and ongoing stomach pain of four weeks or more
- New unexplained, unexpected or worsening pain. This includes bone or back pain of four weeks or more
- GP ‘gut feeling’ of cancer
The aim of the NSSS is to see patients with non-specific symptoms quickly. This means serious problems like cancer are either ruled out or picked up earlier.
