NHS to bring ‘sponge-on-a-string’ cancer test to the high street
NHS England is rolling out a new, life-saving cancer test you can now take on your local high street. The ‘sponge-on-a-string’ test is quick, simple, and helps spot early signs of oesophageal cancer without needing to visit a hospital. That means easier access, faster answers, and better care for you.
