DETECT-CRC intervention begins
DETECT-CRC, a feasibility study looking to improve early detection of bowel cancer in less affluent areas of South Yorkshire, began its trial intervention in early January 2025. They opened 12 sites across the county, and are hoping to open more in the coming months. The sites are set to be open for 1 year before the trial moves on to the analysis stage.
