14.01.2022 "A newly developed blood test can detect eight common cancers in their early stages." Researchers have developed a blood test that can detect the presence of eight common cancers including ovarian, liver, stomach, pancreatic, oesophageal, bowel, lung or breast. The blood test, called CancerSEEK, detects tiny fragments of DNA and proteins released into the blood stream from cancer cells. This can then indicate the presence of early-stage cancers, allowing for early diagnosis. ...CancerSEEK claims to be able to detect one mutated DNA fragment among 10,000 normal fragments... quite literally finding the needle in the haystack. https://theconversation.com/a-new-blood-test-can-detect-eig
