No more colonoscopy? A simple blood test detects colon cancer accurately
A promising experimental blood test has shown the ability to accurately detect colon cancer with 81% accuracy in patients and correctly rule it out in 90% of healthy individuals. This less invasive method presents a significant advancement over traditional colonoscopies and stool-based tests, potentially increasing screening rates among those deterred by invasive procedures.
