SYDNEY: Cancer is a lethal sickness that leads its victims to the bite the dust sooner or later. Only those could survive whose tumors are diagnosed at the early stages.
According to Australian investigators now we can detect eight widespread cancers (ovary, liver, stomach, pancreas, esophagus, bowel, lung and breast) in the early stages via a new blood test. Also, this would boost the odds of survival of the victims.
While maintaining that it would be safe screening test, the study author from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Australia, Jeanne Tie noted that this is the first sort of its test that gives promising results when it comes to diagnosing eight sorts of cancers, which are accountable to take millions of life per annum.
Connoisseurs have been reiterating for so long that there is an urgent need of such kind of advancement that could spot cancer ahead of time. However, the novel blood assessment could detect tumor prematurely and the results are up to 70 percent promising.
Writing in the study, published in the journal Science, the pundits delineated that the blood test screens for major proteins and gene mutations that insinuate towards the existence of the tumors. (Aiman Inam)
