Breakthrough in Cancer Detection

A major breakthrough in cancer research could lead to earlier detection and prevention of the disease using a simple blood test, identifying proteins in the blood that could warn of cancer years before diagnosis. This could revolutionize cancer treatment and prevention strategies.

New Blood Test for Colorectal Cancer Detection

A new blood test called SHIELD can detect colorectal cancer with over 80% accuracy, offering a less invasive screening option for average-risk individuals. The test is not recommended for high-risk groups.

EsoGuard: A New Esophageal Cancer Screening Test
