BLOOD TEST FINDS FUTURE CANCER!

GROUNDBREAKING research has revealed a simple blood test can detect cancer seven years earlier than currently possible! Scientists at the U.K.'s University of Oxford say their discovery could help identify people who are at high risk of developing cancer so better strategies for prevention and treatment are developed.

"To save more lives from cancer, we need to better understand what happens at the earliest stages of the disease," says Oxford epidemiologist Dr. Keren Papier.

Her team examined blood samples from 44,000-plus subjects, including more than 4,900 people who were later diagnosed with cancer.

Using a technique called proteomics that allows scientists to analyze a large set of proteins at once, the researchers compared the blood of folks who developed cancer with those who didn't.
