Patterns in haemoglobin levels over 10 years to predict diagnosis of colorectal cancer by Duke’s staging: preliminary findings using UK primary care routine blood test data

Stage at diagnosis of colorectal cancer influences 5-year survival: 94% at the earliest stage, but 7% at the latest. Tumour growth causes subtle changes in levels of blood components, such as haemoglobin, which may go unnoticed. Such changes have not been explored. We report patterns in haemoglobin...
