Blood Test To Spot Breast Cancer
The company “Chronix Biomedical” says it’s working on a test that spots d-n-a that leaks out of dead and dying cells. It says its blood test looking for that d-n-a detected seventy percent of breast cancer cases in its trial. It also correctly cleared one-hundred percent of women who were healthy. The test is based on decoded genomes from breast cancer patients; as well as from healthy women. the theory is, if a cell is expressing d-n-a because it’s dying… There must be something killing it.
Doctor Steven Garner is a radiologist at New York Methodist hospital.
He says this could be a great alternative for mammograms.
Doctor garner says the blood test will likely detect cancer as soon as it appears. right now, the test is very expensive and a few years away… But doctor garner says the same technology may one day be able to spot other types of cancer too. Details of the company’s trials appear in the journal “molecular cancer research.”
