A simple blood test that can detect 50 types of cancer

The new study by scientists was accompanied by the identification of a new type of blood test that can detect more than 50 types of cancer. High speed in cancer diagnosis can speed up treatment.

According to Tekna’s technology and technology news service, according to the report published by the British National Health Service at the world’s largest cancer conference held in the United States, a type of blood test called Galleri has made it possible to identify more than 50 different types of cancer.

The method of this blood test to detect cancer is to detect tumor DNA fragments in the blood, which can even identify the location of the tumor.

5461 people suspected of having cancer were used to test this method. The blood test of these people was able to detect the presence of cancer in two thirds of these people. Also, the accuracy of diagnosis was higher in elderly people and those with more progress in this disease. This test was able to determine the location of cancer in 85% of cases.

This test was invented by an American company called Grail. According to the researchers, despite the success in the clinical trial, this method still needs more research to be used in healthcare systems. According to Mark Middleton, a professor of experimental cancer medicine, the method is used initially to detect cancer more quickly. In the next stages, the goals of this test are to find the location of the cancer and reduce the waiting time of the patient, as well as reduce the number of different tests for diagnosis.
