US researchers have demonstrated that blood biomarkers, specifically circulating tumor DNA, can potentially detect cancer more than three years before clinical diagnosis, offering a promising avenue for early intervention and improved survival rates, though further development of more sensitive tests is needed.
A study called TracerX has revealed that cancers have an "almost infinite" ability to evolve and survive, making a universal cure unlikely any time soon. The study provides the most in-depth analysis of how cancers evolve and what causes them to spread. The research team concluded that we need more focus on prevention, with early detection and early detection of relapse being crucial. The study also showed that analyzing blood for fragments of tumor DNA meant signs of it returning could be spotted up to 200 days before appearing on a CT scan.
