From the moment Nathaniel Dye was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in 2023, he had an overwhelming desire to raise awareness of the disease. He raised more than 37,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support through challenges including walking from Land's End to John o' Groats and running the London Marathon while playing the trombone, in the hope of improving cancer screening in the capital.
King Charles III said Friday that early diagnosis and treatment will allow doctors to reduce his cancer treatment in the new year as he encouraged others to take advantage of screening programs that can detect the disease early when it is easiest to treat. "Early diagnosis quite simply saves lives," the king said. "I know, too, what a difference it has made in my own case, enabling me to continue leading a full and active life even while undergoing treatment," he added.
Researchers at the University of Bath said current diagnostic tools are missing the first 10 to 20 years of Alzheimer's, but believe a new Fastball test could transform the way the disease is detected. The 180-second passive test, that records electrical activity in the brain while participants view a stream of images, has been found to reliably identify memory problems in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) a condition that can lead to Alzheimer's.
