Simple Test Could Detect More Gastrointestinal Cancers

This is great news to me and my family. Our Mother died two years ago on June 2 2007 to pancreatic cancer which spread to the liver. We were blessed to have the time we had with her before she passed. My Father had surgery 3-5 years ago because he was diagnosed with colan cancer. Both of my parents were patients of the Mayo clinic and I applaud the teams who helped us in our needs, regardless of the outcome.

To find out that tests such as these have been conceived and will help obtain results is phenominal. With two instances of cancer in the family, our parents no less, we have become more aware of the importance of early screening for detection. Once again I thank you for all of the advancements made and look forward to future ones.
