I have a 54 yearold patient who has asked to be screened for cancer as he has a
family history of colon and lung cancer. He is also concerned about prostate
cancer. He has no symtoms other than an intermittent dry cough over the past 4
years (PFR 640, lungs clear) Physical exam normal
What do other GPs do in this situation?
What screening tests would you offer if any?
He is happy to pay for any tests if not available on NHS
