The biomarker ColoMarker will detect colon cancer via the inexpensive blood test. According to chief scientific officer Kevin Jones, more than 90% of colon cancer patients will survive if detected in early stages. The biomarker has an accuracy rate of greater than 99% for detecting cancer based...
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 29, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- A pair of experimental tests could help doctors detect colon or prostate cancer with just a sample of blood or saliva. One test examines a person's blood for four biomarkers linked to inflammation. In a small study, it outperformed the fecal ...
I wish my dad had been able to have access to this blood test. He might be alive today and know my daughter, his grandchild.”In a clinical study, the Galleri test demonstrated the ability to detect a shared signal from more than 50 types of cancer, over 45 of which lack recommended...
or MCED test. Essentially, many cancers shed tiny fragments called biomarkers into the bloodstream; one common biomarker is called circulating tumor DNA (or ctDNA). MCED testing is able to detect patterns or changes to ctDNA and other biomarkers in a blood sample...
For healthy adults age 50 to 75 at average risk for colon cancer, the task force backs three methods: annual stool blood tests, a sigmoidoscopy every five years plus stool tests every three years, or a colonoscopy once a decade. ACCURACY ...

"Current screening tests using only fecal occult blood are biologically limited in their ability to detect precursors to colorectal cancer."...

Illinois to get the blood test as part of a pilot program at health system OSF HealthCare, which is offering the test at 18 locations. OSF leaders hope the blood test will improve early detection of lung cancer, which kills more people in the U.S. than any other single type of cancer...
A new research report published in the October 2014 issue of The FASEB Journal may make the early detection of cancer as easy as a simple blood test. This test, called the "lymphocyte genome sensitivity" (LGS) test, could not only detect some cancers ear
