Diagnostic accuracy of CT in patients with non-specific symptoms of cancer referred directly to CT from general practice: a retrospective follow-up study
Despite a fivefold increase in GP referrals for ceCT-TAP since 2012, it remains an important diagnostic tool, identifying malignancy in one in seven patients. However, as the negative likelihood ratio was>0.10, a normal ceCT-TAP does not convincingly rule out cancer and should not stand alone as the only decision-support tool.
