The NHS is planning to offer a blood test that can detect 50 types of cancer before symptoms appear to one million people in a pilot programme from next summer. The Galleri test detects tiny fragments of tumour DNA in the bloodstream and predicts where in the body that signal may have originated. The test is expected to find 5,000 potential cases of the disease every year. The Galleri test is being given to 142,000 people without symptoms across England and will report its results in April.
