Researchers Say Blood Test Can Detect Eight Common Cancers

Posted 1/25/18 (Thu)

Just released research, reported in “Science Now”, indicates that a noninvasive blood test can detect signs of eight types of cancers long before any symptoms of the disease arise.

Although the test must be validated in larger studies before it can be used, the test screened over 1,000 patients known to have cancer and 815 people presumed to be healthy. Researchers found that the test could accurately detect cancer when it existed in about 70 percent of cases.
