The BC Cancer Primary Care Program is seeking feedback from family doctors on the updated Family Practice Oncology Network Guideline: Upper GI Cancer Part 1 & 2.

Your feedback will help shape guideline content and format, as well as opportunities to decrease the burden on primary care physicians.

Some of the guideline’s new recommendations include:

  • Screening: Screening in the average risk population for upper GI cancers is not recommended, but should be considered for certain high-risk groups
  • Hereditary Cancer Program: Which upper GI cancers are linked to hereditary syndromes and how to refer to the Hereditary Cancer Program
  • New Treatments: A variety of systemic therapies may be available for some Upper GI cancers as determined by a multidisciplinary team approach

Learn more and submit your review here. The deadline to complete the online questionnaire is August 15, 2025. CME credits may be available.
