Revolutionary Cancer Discovery: Early Tumor Prediction and New Cause Uncovered.

Scientists have discovered a link between the risk of cancer and clusters of chemicals in an individual’s cells called circular RNAs. These RNAs can cause tumors known as oncogenes. The discovery offers hope of developing personalized vaccines for vulnerable patients and a screening program that could detect tumors decades in advance. The breakthrough opens the door for using these molecules as markers of disease at a very early stage, where the likelihood of curing cancers is much higher.
