  1. This is fantastic news. I have had annual pancreatic cancer screening at a London hospital for over a decade as part of the EUROPAC study led by Liverpool University. The investigation involve sedation and I seem to need heavier and heavier doses as the years go by – which is apparently common. I’d happily change to giving a urine sample!
