A study protocol for the CHinA National CancEr screening (CHANCES) trial: a randomized controlled study to compare the screening strategies for lung cancer and colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND: Well-implemented cancer screening strategies can significantly enhance early detection rates, leading to improved treatment outcomes and reduced mortality. However, there remains a paucity of high-quality evidence from developing regions. The CHinA National CancEr Screening (CHANCES) Trial aims to comprehensively evaluate and compare different screening strategies for lung cancer and colorectal cancer (CRC) in the… →

Genomic testing for bleeding disorders (GT4BD): protocol for a randomised controlled trial evaluating the introduction of whole genome sequencing early in the diagnostic pathway for patients with inherited bleeding disorders as compared with standard of care
INTRODUCTION: The current diagnostic pathway for patients with a suspected inherited bleeding disorder is long, costly, resource intensive, emotionally draining for patients and often futile, as half of patients will remain without a diagnosis and be labelled ‘bleeding disorder of unknown cause’. Advances in understanding the genetic basis of the inherited bleeding disorders, coupled with… →
