A researcher who survived childhood leukemia developed a blood test that detects breast cancer recurrence up to four years before traditional methods. The test is now helping patients in the U.S. catch cancer earlier when treatment works best.
Scientists created a light-powered sensor that spots cancer biomarkers in blood at incredibly tiny concentrations, potentially catching the disease years earlier than current methods. The breakthrough could transform cancer screening into a simple blood draw.
Australian researchers developed a simple blood test that catches testicular cancer returning before it becomes dangerous. The breakthrough could spare young men from unnecessary treatment while catching relapses when they're easiest to stop.
Scientists at UCLA have developed a simple blood test that can detect multiple types of cancer and other diseases simultaneously for less than $20. Early studies show it catches 63% of cancers overall and nearly 80% of liver cancers in high-risk patients.
Researchers discovered a protein that acts as a natural brake on the most common blood cancer, and restoring it stopped tumors cold in the lab. The finding could help doctors predict which patients need aggressive treatment and may lead to new therapies for those who don't respond to standard care.
Scientists developed a four-biomarker blood test that catches pancreatic cancer earlier than ever before, potentially saving thousands of lives. The breakthrough could help doctors identify the deadly disease when it's still treatable.
