We are at the start of revolution in cancer diagnosis, and this trial will help us to find out whether blood tests can help GPs get the right patients to the right tests sooner, supporting earlier diagnosis when treatment is most likely to be successful.
An early cancer diagnosis can be lifesaving. That's why we're backing a world-first trial to investigate whether simple blood tests can spot some of the most common cancers in their earliest stages. Innovation like this is key to our National Cancer Plan.
