On Tuesdat 3 March 2026 at 14:00, Kasper Grooss defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Cancer recurrence detection in general practice".
The regular contact between general practitioner (GP) and patient offers good opportunities for detecting early signs of cancer recurrence. However, we know little about the processes preceding a diagnosis of recurrence across multiple cancer types in general practice. Early detection of recurrence is important, as it may improve the patient’s prognosis and quality of life. According to the most recent Cancer Plan by the Danish government, general practice is expected to assume a greater role in future cancer follow-up, yet the existing model remains centred on the hospital setting.
A new PhD project has investigated the extent to which GPs are involved in diagnosing cancer recurrence, how they assess and manage symptoms of recurrence, and how these actions affect patient prognosis.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in AIAS Auditorium (1633-201), Aarhus University. Please see the press release for more information.
