Scientists Discover: The new blood test can detect 50 types of cancer

The test is based on DNA that has been removed from the tumors and found circulated in the blood. More specifically, she focuses on chemical changes in this DNA, known as the method samples.

Researchers said the test cannot only say if someone has cancer, but it can also shed light on the type of cancer they have, reports Guardian.

Dr. Geoffrey Oxnard of an institute as part of Harvard Medical School said the test was now being explored in clinical trials.

You need to use tests like this in independent cancer risk groups to show you can find cancers, and understand what to do next once you find out,” he said.

The team of scientists has discovered how the test was developed using an algorithm such artificial intelligence. These systems select samples inside the data, and as a result they are taught to classify them. /Periscope
