Proportion trends, cancer stage, and survival of patients with cancer diagnosed through emergency and nonemergency departments: a nationwide cohort study
The present study found that the government's cancer screening did not affect the proportion or number of cancers diagnosed through emergency department visits. Therefore, the government should focus on more cancer screening, health education in high-risk groups, and strengthening the link between emergency and oncology departments to reduce the risk of death for patients diagnosed through emergency department visits.
