Chinese scientists have found a less invasive method to treating colorectal cancer with the aid of RNA products. Colorectal cancer has been sweep throw the US like wildfire in the past years. These Chinese scientists created a method of using beads with in stool samples. Each RNA strand would have multiple primers in order to detect the RNA products. This helped increase the rate of detection of cancers cell with in the stool samples. When tested, using this method, the rate of detection increased about 77%. Two scientist involve the experiments believe that the sample size would need to increase in order for the data to inevitably product positive results for colorectal cancer research.
I have seen what colorectal cancer can do to a person first hand. You honestly never know when this silent killer kills. But the first step to anything is to get check out and know your option. I would like to see, as the scientist said, a large sample size. The larger sample size makes sure your results truly reflect the population.
