Blood tests provide no additional information to FIT alone when prioritising patients for colorectal cancer referral

Faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) alone leads to the identification of the same number of patients with colorectal cancer as more complicated approaches that combine the FIT result with the results of commonly used blood tests.
New blood-based test is the first ever to simultaneously identify if a patient has cancer and if it has spread
5 January 2022
A publication by University of Oxford researchers describes a new minimally invasive and inexpensive blood test that can identify cancer in patients with non-specific symptoms. The early success of this technology makes it the first blood-based test that not only detects cancer in this population but can simultaneously identify if a cancer has spread.
