Algorithm study of DNA proves 90% accurate predicting bowel cancer

A new method for detecting bowel cancer is over 90% accurate in predicting which high-risk individuals will develop the disease within five years, according to research funded by Cancer Research UK.
The study involved 122 patients with inflammatory bowel disease, showing that those with specific DNA changes in pre-cancerous cells had a higher likelihood of developing bowel cancer.
Craig Foster, whose wife died of bowel cancer, expressed hope that this research will save lives and prevent others from experiencing similar losses.
The new test aims to improve early detection and reduce the need for unpleasant regular colonoscopies, as stated by Professor Ailsa Hart from St Mark's.
