Loading ...Oncology isn’t my field but I believe early detection is best chance of survival. We probably all have know someone who found they had cancer too late. Better cost effective ways to find it is still basically in its infancy and going in all directions.
I like this study that could be done in a routine physical. A blood test that can identify cancers and like how amongst a boast load of cancers it can diagnose ovarian pretty well when usually isn’t picked up until after it’s too late. Also pancreatic which is usually discovered late although I think it’s over looked sometimes or misdiagnosed as a ulser or something.
I also think since doctors are not doing real physical assessments unless targeted by the clients there should be a list of questions they should answer and bring with them.
Anywyays this blood test would be nice if it were 100 % but pretty good for some forms of cancer. Take note that blood tests on Wanka caused the doctor to look to further blood tests that found his cancer.
The new blood test works by identifying the markers for 16 gene mutations and eight proteins that are associated with eight different cancer types. These include breast, lung, and colorectal cancer, as well as five cancers — ovarian, liver, stomach, pancreatic, and esophageal — for which there are currently no routine screening tests for people at average risk.
“A novelty of our classification method is that it combines the probability of observing various DNA mutations together with the levels of several proteins in order to make the final call,” explains study co-author Cristian Tomasetti, Ph.D., an associate professor of oncology and biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University.
For their study, the researchers tested CancerSEEK on 1,005 individuals who had been diagnosed with non-metastatic forms of one of the eight cancers.
