Need for Colon cancer screening

...0% of growths. After completing both the tests the detection rate up to 76 %. The researchers feel that people need to follow-up and repeat testing to be sure they have caught a cancer in time. The problem was worse for people over 60, as they are more likely to develop a cancer in the upper colon where it c...

Mammography aided by computer

...ancer Research Centre are now using computer-aided detection (CAD) to help analyse lesions that a first exam cannot diagnose.// The radiologist makes the final decision, but each mammogram is read first by the radiologist and then by the computer. CAD helps by pointing out lesions that might have been overlo...
