The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has said two saliva-based tests—EndoSure and Endotest—can be used within the NHS to help diagnose endometriosis. According to the reports, NICE’s guidance allows the tests to be offered in primary care settings, with the aim of reducing the length of time people wait for a diagnosis. The outlets describe the tests as simple saliva tests that can be carried out at a GP appointment, rather than requiring longer diagnostic pathways. NICE states that using the tests on the NHS can dramatically reduce delays, though the reports do not provide specific figures or time reductions. The approval represents a shift toward earlier and more accessible diagnostic options for endometriosis, a condition that can be difficult to identify and may involve long periods before diagnosis. The information cited is linked to NICE’s review and endorsement of these tests for NHS use.
