Using simple drugs to lower pressure, recurrent metastases in colon cancer can be reduced

Drug treatment to prevent anxiety, stress reactions and inflammation reduced the risk of developing metastases after surgery to remove a colon tumor by tens of percent

Meeting with a patient - as a warning bell

Doctors who see a bowel cancer patient tend to refer more patients to tests for early detection. Is this a correct response?
