For many years innumerable claims have been made for blood tests capable of detecting the presence of clinically occult cancer, but none of the many ‘cancer tests’ has withstood detailed evaluation. However, some are available with potential use in screening for neoplasia, for making the initial diagnosis, for localisation of occult neoplasia and ...

Abstract This chapter describes the way genetic testing is done. Essentially, the test measures the number of CAGs which are repeated in the first part of the gene. It is possible to measure the size of a section of the gene for Huntington’s disease (HD) so as to know how many CAG repeats are present in the gene.
