Inexpensive new colon cancer test in the works, inspired by remote Alaska field conditions... Eradicating Colon Cancer: A Lofty Goal discoverysedge.mayo.edu New DNA Test Could Represent a ‘Revolution’ for Colon Cancer By Annie Feidt, APRN - Anchorage \| June 5, 2012 - 5:20 pm alaskapublic.org The best way to prevent colon cancer is through screening, but Dr. Ahlquist realized traditional screening methods had flaws in rural Alaska. Colonoscopy equipment isn’t available in remote Native villages. And a widely used test that detects blood in stool isn’t effective because many Alaska Natives have a stomach bacteria called H. pylori that also causes bleeding. So when he returned to the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Ahlquist began working on a new kind of test. He wanted it to be highly accurate, accessible to anyone and easy to use. The test he eventually developed can identify several altered genes that are present in colon cancer: “It measures DNA changes that are shed from the surface of cancer or pre cancer into the stool and we can detect those changes that act as a signature as the presence of cancer or polyps. And it proves to be very accurate.”
