| Health & Medicine News -- Scienc | A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST COULD DETECT MULTIPLE CANCERS AND REVEAL WHERE THEY STARTED | 1 day ago |
UCLA researchers have announced a new blood test that scans DNA signals for the presence of multiple cancers, liver disease, and signs of organ damage. The test also indicates where the abnormalities may have originated, offering a potential single diagnostic tool for several conditions. Early data suggest the method could be inexpensive enough for widespread screening.
According to Health & Medicine News – Scienc, the preliminary results show that the inexpensive approach might bring medicine closer to a single blood test capable of catching a wide range of diseases before they become harder to treat. The researchers highlighted the test’s ability to pinpoint the location of potential trouble, a feature that could guide targeted follow‑up diagnostics.
If validated in larger studies, this technology could streamline routine health checks and reduce the need for multiple invasive tests, potentially improving early detection of serious illnesses.
