This study investigates cancer. It focuses on understanding how purchase behaviors might change before a cancer diagnosis. The study looks at ten types of cancer, including colon, oesophageal, stomach, liver, bladder, uterine, vulval, ovarian, endometrial, and pancreatic cancers.
The study evaluates if data from loyalty card purchases can reveal patterns that help identify cancer earlier. It gathers information on what products people buy to manage symptoms before seeking medical help. This could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment.
- Who can participate: Adults over 18 living in the UK can participate. They must be the primary registered cardholder of a loyalty card from Tesco or Boots and be registered with an NHS GP. Cancer patients must have been diagnosed within the last 24 months.
- Study details: Participants will share purchase data from their loyalty cards. They will fill out a health and lifestyle questionnaire. A placebo is not used in this study. Participants must be the primary registered cardholder of a loyalty card.
