Whilst on the subject of the MDA and picking up a thread from last November,
the MDA have issued a safety notice about DR-70, a test proposed by the
manufacturer as a screen for cancer. The MDA take the view that there is
insufficient evidence to support the use of this test on its own for
screeining or to make decisions regarding diagnosis or prognosis.
