Scientists: Simple blood tests that detect over 50 types of cancer are accurate

The test, which will also be piloted by NHS to England since September, aims to identify people with higher risk of disease, including 50-year-old or even older patients.

He is able to identify many types of disease that are difficult to diagnose in early stages, such as head and neck cancer, Hawaiian cancer, pancreas, esophagus, and some blood cancers, reports Guardian.

Scientists said their findings indicate that the test has accurately detected cancers often more often than signs or symptoms.

The test, conducted by the American company Gray, requires chemical changes in the fragments of the genetic code that can be derived from tumors in the bloodstream.

The latest study has revealed that the test has high expectations of accuracy as scientists analyzed the test performance in 2823 people.

This test wrongly detected the disease in just 0.5 percent of cases.

Early identification is key to overcoming cancer. /Periscope
