Figure 1
Visual summary of length of the patient, the primary care and the pre-referral intervals by cancer. Bar length represents the size of the interquartile interval, with median values depicted by a vertical line. Cancers are ordered in ascending order of median patient interval. Note that median patient intervals tend to be longer than primary care intervals for most cancers, and very short primary care intervals are seen for cancers such as breast, vulval and melanoma.
