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.
A simple blood test has joined the list of approved colorectal cancer screening options, offering hope for millions who avoid traditional testing. This breakthrough could help catch more cancers early when they're most treatable.
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.
A simple blood test called Shield just became the first FDA-approved blood screening for colorectal cancer, offering hope for thousands who skip traditional colonoscopies. Marine veteran and cancer survivor Sherri Chippo is spreading the word that this quick, accessible test could save lives across Pennsylvania.
A breakthrough genomic test could help millions of breast cancer patients avoid unnecessary chemotherapy while maintaining excellent outcomes. The innovation promises to transform treatment decisions for early-stage breast cancer worldwide.
A new blood test can predict which bladder cancer patients can safely keep their bladder instead of undergoing surgery. In a clinical trial, 80% of patients who avoided immediate surgery remained cancer-free after two years.
Scientists have developed a four-marker blood test that detects pancreatic cancer in its earliest stages with nearly 88% accuracy. This breakthrough could transform survival rates for one of the deadliest cancers, which currently kills 9 out of 10 patients within five years.
A groundbreaking study shows remote genetic services more than doubled cancer survivors' access to life-saving genetic testing. Working through primary care doctors, the telehealth program identified critical hereditary cancer risks in 10% of participants.
A groundbreaking study shows that childhood cancer survivors using telehealth for genetic counseling were nearly three times more likely to get tested than those relying on traditional care. This simple shift could save lives by catching new cancers earlier.
Advanced genetic testing could eliminate the 40% higher breast cancer death rate among Black women by identifying high-risk tumors that standard tests miss. Gene profiling tools are helping doctors create personalized treatment plans that work equally well across racial groups.
Women with hard-to-treat ovarian cancer now have access to a nationwide diagnostic test that identifies who can receive a newly approved therapy shown to extend survival. Labcorp's rapid rollout means patients can get tested and connected to treatment quickly.
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.
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.
A simple blood test can now detect returning rectal cancer months before traditional scans, giving patients and doctors crucial time to act. The test found hidden cancer cells even when MRIs showed complete success.
Swedish researchers developed a blood test that identifies cancer in patients with vague symptoms like fatigue or weight loss, solving one of medicine's toughest diagnostic challenges. The test analyzes protein patterns to distinguish cancer from other serious conditions with high accuracy.
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.
A groundbreaking genomic test can now identify which breast cancer patients can safely skip chemotherapy, sparing millions from grueling side effects. The international trial shows hormone therapy alone works just as well for many patients.
