New blood test can detect, classify and pinpoint cancer location from one drop of blood.

The use of blood-based liquid biopsies to detect, diagnose, and monitor cancer may enable earlier diagnosis of cancer, lower costs by tailoring molecular targeted treatments, improve convenience for cancer patients, and ultimately supplements clinical oncological decision-making. Current blood-based biosources under evaluation demonstrate suboptimal sensitivity for cancer diagnostics, in particular in patients with localized disease. So far, none of the current blood-based biosources, including plasma DNA, … Continue reading New blood test can detect, classify and pinpoint cancer location from one drop of blood.
