Scientists in China have developed a test that detects three types of cancers with just one spot of dried blood.
Scientists in China created a test that needs less than 0.05 millimeters of dried blood to diagnose cancer.
According to the researchers, the test could identify when a patient had cancer around 82% to 100% of the time. In just a few minutes, this test showed a difference between patients with diagnosed cancer and people without cancer. Their focus was on pancreatic, gastric, or colorectal cancer. Their assessment showed that the implementation of this tool in less-developed regions could reduce the estimated proportion of undiagnosed cases of cancers. For example, this method for population-level cancer screening in rural China could reduce undiagnosed cases by 20% to 50%. Especially when it comes to colorectal, gastric, and colorectal cancers.Chaoyuan Kuang who was not involved in the study.
