Note to anyone writing #clinicaltrial protocols: the word ‘subjects’ is pejorative and rude – people suffering illness may become patients of healthcare services, but transform themselves into participants when they volunteer to take part in clinical trials. Subjects are things we took at school.

Multi-cancer tests could signal to your GP if vague early-stage symptoms could be caused by cancer, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis when treatment is more likely to be successful. Explore how these tests work and how they could support GPs to diagnose cancer earlier 👇

GPs see lots of people with cancer symptoms, but cancer cases can be like needles in the haystack. Multi-cancer tests might help find them.
