New blood test on the way

[Digger0]

Just seen this on the BBC. Blood test for picking up bowel cancer! Let's hope it's being used before my next colonoscopy in 3 years bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-614...

That would be awesome. Here's hoping it's rolled out soon.

Hey Digger0

Yeah. The liquid biopsy. That is good news. There are a lot more non-invasive ways of screening for certain cancers being developed. It was eye opening that majority of bowl cancers diagnosed in Wales were already in an advanced stage. So more screening and easier methods to do it is definitely a plus.

And I'm with you on finding something that may help avoid having to get a colonoscopy. I'm all for that.
