Breakthrough? A simple blood test could spot cancer 3 years early, study suggests
A new study highlighted by the Times of India examines a promising blood test that can detect cancer before the symptoms appear. Researchers found that specific genetic characters found in plasma may indicate the presence of cancer up to three years before the official diagnosis. This success depends on analyzing cell-free DNA pieces that move in the bloodstream, which reveals the micro-genetic mutation associated with the development of cancer. The study, including the inclusion of thousands of samples from different countries, shows encouraging results, suggests rapid detection that can be regular. Researchers believe that quickly catching cancer through such blood tests can improve the survival rate by enabling treatment before the disease increases. Although conclusions are promising, experts emphasize the need for major tests to confirm accuracy and reliability in different types of cancer. If further is valid, this simple blood sample can change cancer screening, provides a non-invasive, initial warning tool and can save countless lives in the future.
