A mobile unit will visit the town and local people are being encouraged to participate in it. To be eligible, they must be aged 50 to 77 and not have had treatment or a diagnosis of the disease during the past three years. The trial is called the Galleri test and the NHS is stating that it can identify over 50 kinds of cancer at the earliest and most treatable stages, before the emergence of symptoms.
Macclesfield will be the last place that it visits, after Cheshire College, Crewe and then Nantwich. Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance (CMCA) is hoping to get 140,000 people in the UK with different ethnic and other backgrounds to take part in the trial.
Stationery printers in Macclesfield can provide the organisers of medical trials with the Forms that they need to be able to keep accurate records.
Dr Chris Warburton from CMCA told Cheshire Live that:
“By taking part in this trial, the people of Chester will be at the forefront of developing a test that has the potential to save lives from cancer in England and around the world.”
It will be in Macclesfield from 30th May to 6th June.
