  schema:description "An emergency presentation means a cancer was diagnosed after the person arrived as an emergency, through A&E or an urgent admission, rather than through a GP referral or screening. It is the route with the worst survival because the cancer is usually advanced by then. Almost half of pancreatic cancers in England are diagnosed this way, more than for almost any other common cancer."@en ;
