Potential for blood test to detect lung cancer in early stages

Potential for blood test to detect lung cancer in early stages | Longevity science | Scoop.it

While the overall lung cancer five-year survival rate in the U.S. is 15 percent, the odds of survival increase significantly with early detection. However, the expense or invasiveness of current screening methods and the lack of symptoms at early stages of the disease means most people aren’t diagnosed until the cancer is well advanced.

 

Findings by researchers at the University of York could pave the way for a simple blood test that would detect the disease even in its early stages.
