Early biomarkers for the detection of colon cancer

Many colon tumours are detected when the tumour cells have already spread in the body. This leads to the treatment becoming more difficult as the disease changes composition and gives rise to more complications. A non-invasive blood test could make a huge difference, as using the markers to detect the cancer means starting treatment earlier. Through a relatively cheap and simple blood test, it will also be possible to test a larger part of the population.
