A new light-based sensor can spot incredibly tiny amounts of cancer biomarkers in blood, raising the possibility of earlier and simpler cancer detection. The technology merges DNA nanotechnology, ...

Using a single blood sample, multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests screen for numerous types of cancers, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic and prostate cancers. Trials are underway ...

Molecules exhaled in the breath may help detect blood cancer, according to new research from Queen Mary University of London. The findings could enable the development of a blood cancer breathalyser, ...

For years, it has been one of the most tantalizing ideas in medicine: One day, a simple blood test will detect nascent cancers — allowing doctors to intervene when tumors may be easier to treat. A ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive light-based sensor that can detect extremely low concentrations of cancer biomarkers in the blood. The new technology could one day make it possible to ...

Bottom line: A four-biomarker blood panel of aminopeptidase N (ANPEP), polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (PIGR), CA19-9, and thrombospondin-2 (THBS2) enhanced the detection of pancreatic ductal ...

TEXAS – A new wave of blood tests is changing how doctors detect cancer. These tests can find signs of cancer early, sometimes before symptoms appear, giving patients a better chance at successful ...

Cancer continues to be one of the world's top causes of death, partly because of delayed discovery of the disease. But according to a recently released study, a simple blood test may be able to ...
