A small helping of yoghurt could be key in detecting colorectal cancer

A simple serving of yoghurt could soon replace Health & Wellbeing uncomfortable colonoscopies in detecting colorectal (bowel) cancer.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor Sangeeta Bhatia is developing synthetic molecules that could be ingested in a small helping of yoghurt and would produce telltale biomarkers that appear when cancer is present.
 
The biomarkers could then be detected by a simple urine test, eliminating the need for an invasive colonoscopy.
 
By using lab instruments to analyse urine samples and identify biomarkers associated with cancer, Bhatia then developed a simple paper-based urine test (similar to commercially available pregnancy tests).
