Detecting Cancer with Autoantibodies
constituents. Cancer stimulates autoantibody production due to the presence of unusual proteins or excessive quantities of normal proteins. Due to the great sensitivity of the immune response, researchers are actively engaged in the discovery of autoantibodies as detection tools for cancers.

Colorectal Cancer Screening
Screening tests for colorectal cancer seek to detect the cancer while it is at a stage where it is still very treatable. New procedures have been developed that are highly accurate but less invasive than procedures presently in use.
