| Core Tip |
Point-of-care tests are well established. They facilitate real time clinical decision-making and can be cost-effective, reduce in-patient hospital stay and increase patient satisfaction. Faecal Occult Blood has been used internationally since 1993 in screening for colorectal cancer. Six technologies for current or potential point-of-care diagnosis of gastro-intestinal cancer were identified from the literature (faecal occult blood, faecal proteins, volatile organic compounds, pyruvate kinase isoenzyme type M2, tumour markers and DNA analysis). Currently, three have commercially available point-of-care devices. New technologies demonstrate potential to provide accuracy and an ability to diagnose gastrointestinal cancer earlier leading to improved clinical outcome and survival. |
