Cancer patients fighting multiple myeloma can now skip painful bone marrow tests thanks to a breakthrough blood test available at 7,000 locations nationwide. The affordable new test detects lingering cancer cells just as accurately while costing far less than existing options.
Doctors once thought blood tests for Alzheimer's were impossible, but breakthrough technology is now making diagnosis as simple as a routine blood draw. The tests could transform how millions get diagnosed and treated for the disease.
SallyAnn Decker survived breast cancer twice before a simple genetic test revealed ovarian cancer so early that surgery caught it before symptoms appeared. Now she's on a mission to convince her family to get tested too.
For the first time, the American Cancer Society recommends a simple blood test as a screening option for colon cancer, giving hope to millions who avoid traditional testing. This breakthrough could save thousands of lives by making screening more accessible.
Scientists in Newcastle have developed a breakthrough urine test that catches deadly urinary tract cancers in Lynch syndrome patients before any symptoms show. The test has already detected early-stage cancer in five people, saving them from invasive treatments.
A simple blood test could soon screen for 50 different types of cancer at once, making life-saving early detection easier and more accessible than ever before. The FDA is evaluating the breakthrough test for approval this year, with Medicare coverage possible by 2028.
A breakthrough gene therapy has revolutionized how Canadian doctors approach ALS testing. Now 100% of physicians offer genetic testing to all patients, regardless of family history.
Tennessee lawmakers just passed a bill to expand biomarker testing coverage, a breakthrough that helps doctors find the right cancer treatment the first time. One lung cancer survivor says the test saved his life.
