The new blood test can be used DNA to identify cancer types

The new test, which is sensitive as to Changed DNA, which freely sails on blood and cancer-related proteins, produced a positive result of about 70% in eight of the most common cancers when tested in more than 1,000 patients.

In the future, such a test can be used in routine screening programs to significantly increase the percentage of patients receiving treatment earlier, at a time before cancer usually appears on conventional scans.

The use of a combination of early detection biomarketers has the potential to change the way we show cancer which is based on the same reason for the use of cancer treatment drugs, said Nicholas Papadopoulos, professor of oncology at John Hopkins University, reports “The Guardian<x>, conscript Periscope.

The test can also identify the form of cancer that a patient had, that previous cancer blood tests have failed to identify.

In blood samples of 1,005 patients, the test found between 33% and 98% of disease cases. The ovaries ' cancer was easier to detect, followed by liver cancer, stomach, pancreatics, esophagus, Colactal, lungs, and breast.

For the five cancers that currently do not have screening tests -- Ivanarian cancer, liver, stomach, pancreatics and esophagus cancer -- the sensitivity ranged from 69% to 98%./Periscopi/
