New Test Detects Cancer In Minutes Using Just 1 Drop of Dried Blood
Though the test is in its infancy, it could someday be used to spot three of cancer's deadliest forms.
Current cancer detection methods are cumbersome, time-consuming, and expensive. From getting an MRI to preparing for and undergoing a colonoscopy, today's most reliable diagnostics require that patients take full days off work and sit through discomfort during an already stressful period of life. Many of these methods are focused on just one region of the body, making it difficult to check for cancer across multiple systems at a time.
A test devised in Shanghai could make cancer detection quicker, easier, and practical for multiple areas of the body at once. Using just one drop of dried blood, the test looks for biomarkers that typically signal cancer's presence in the pancreas, stomach, and colon. Though the test is in its infancy, early trials reveal its promise to safeguard against deadly cancers often discovered too late.
Speed = saving lives. This is a great advancement and I hope china develops it and shares it with the world.
