"Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in Canada, but is highly curable when detected early. The ColonSentry(TM) test represents a new approach to colorectal cancer screening that is more convenient for patients as the test only requires a simple blood sample," said Ron Hoffman, Vice-President, Business Development, Gamma-Dynacare Medical Laboratories. "We look forward to expanding access to the ColonSentry(TM) test in additional locations in south-western Ontario and Quebec over the next few months. We believe the convenience of this test will result in more patients being screened and we are proud to be the first community laboratory in Canada to assist GeneNews in the introduction of ColonSentry(TM)."
