Symptom to test: what comes next

43 presenting symptoms, each walked through in four steps: what it can mean (most causes are not cancer), which test comes first and what it rules in or out, the exact referral thresholds from NICE NG12 and US guidance for your region, and the cancer pages to read. Nothing you choose leaves your browser. This is orientation, not a diagnosis.

Start from the symptom, not the diagnosis.

Pick what you have noticed. Each pathway says what it usually means (most causes are not cancer), which test a doctor would order first, the exact thresholds guidelines use to refer, and which cancer pages to read.
