  • Wonder how Chris Hoy cancer was missed, he has/had regular blood test wouldn't a simple additional test.

    Hopefully his diagnosis will save lives.

  • I thought testing for 'everything' generates a fairly high false positive rate and lots of unnecessary and sometimes unpleasant unneeded procedures? Blood tests work well when combined with other symptoms or targeted groups.

    Didn't he also retire a decade ago so would probably have stopped having whatever blood tests elite athletes have and yet that's plenty of time for cancer to start?
