From a genetically modified kidney transplant from a pig to a blood test for colorectal cancer, learn about these 3 medical breakthroughs.
Experts hope a more convenient option than colonoscopy or fecal at-home tests will lead to more people getting screened for colorectal cancer.
The test’s sensitivity in distinguishing colorectal cancer, in combination with real-world adherence, showed its ability to detect cancer at a curable stage.
A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine says a simple blood test could detect colorectal cancer (CRC) with over 80% accuracy. The health study involved nearly 8,000 people.
Lifestyle changes and reducing exposures to environmental carcinogens could help lower rates of early-onset cancers. A growing body of research suggests that rates of early-onset cancers have been rising since the 1990s.
