Study hypothesisThis study seeks to work out which of the symptoms and examination findings are the most effective in the early prediction of lung or colon cancer.

The aim is to recruit up to 20,000 patients who consult their GP half with lung symptoms and the other half with colorectal symptoms. Clinical information will be collected using standardised internet based forms.

The clinical prediction 'rules' or decision aids developed from these studies will then be tested, with 2000 patients for each condition, for validity.
